Mount Clemens Monitor [Mount Clemens, Macomb, Michigan], December 6, 1912, p.8:

August Biewer died at his home, 140 South Gratiot, last night. Mr. Biewer was born in Germany, Dec. 26th, 1842, and grew to manhood there, serving three years in the army, including the war with Austria. He came to America in 1867, locating in Chicago, but soon after went to Detroit. In 1871 he came to Mt. Clemens, and two years later went into the brewing business, which he continued until the last. The same year he came to Mt. Clemens he married Miss Exol Willett, a Macomb county girl, who died seven years ago. Two children survive.

Mr. Biewer was ever an energetic man, and there was no scheme for the betterment of his home city but found a ready response, both as a hearty advocate and in a financial way. In his death Mt. Clemens loses a citizen of advanced ideas, of unchallenged honestly, and sterling worth. He was a member of the Maccabees, Order of Eagles, and Arbeiter society. The funeral will be held at St. Peter's church Monday morning at nine o'clock.
