BIERBAUER, Capt William, was born in Einseltburn, Bavaria, February 26, 1826. He was well educated and served a term in the German army. He became involved in the German Revolution of 1848 with Carl Schurz, and others, and was forced to leave his native country, and landed in New York in 1849. He soon became interested in the brewery business, first at Seneca Falls, and subsequently at Milwaukee, with Philip Best. In 1856, he came to Mankato, and with his brother Jacob, established a brewery, which grew to be a large and prosperous plant. At first he occupied a small frame building erected in 1858 on North Front street, but in 1873 removed to the present site. William Bierbauer was a patriotic citizen, and when the Indian outbreak of 1862 occurred, he promptly raised a Company, of which he was made captain, and went to the relief of New Ulm, where he rendered valiant service. He was a gentleman of fine presence, good judgment and with a high sense of honor.
In 1858, he was married to Miss Louisa Dornberg, daughter of Dr A G Dornberg, of this city. To this marriage, there were born seven children, six of whom are now living, viz: Albert, Bruno, Rudolph, William, Addie and Ella. Capt Bierbauer died in this city universally respected and lamented November 30, 1893, and is buried in Glenwood cemetery.
