Peter Brehm (deceased) a pioneer in the brewery business of Ann Arbor, was born in Bavaria in 1825. In 1856 he went to Canada and thence to Ann Arbor. He first obtained employment in the city brewery, subsequently built what is now termed the Western Brewery, in the s. w. part of Ann Arbor. In 1857 he married Mrs. Louisa Muehlig, relict of Philip Muellig (deceased) and daughter of Andrew Limpert. In 1870 Mr. Brehm erected a very fine residence on West Liberty street, but did not live long to enjoy its comfort, for death called him away in 1872, and he was tenderly laid at rest in Forest Hill cemetery.
Quoted from History of Washtenaw County, Michigan, 1881, p 966.
