My Genealogy Hound

C. BAEUERLEIN, brewer, post office Bennett, was born Sept. 23, 1846, in the old Fifth ward, Pittsburgh, Pa., son of Adam Baeuerlein, who was born July 5, 1815, in Bavaria, Germany, and died May 18, 1874. Adam was a son of Balzer and Margaretta Baeuerlein, and descended from an old family in his native home. He came to America with his widowed mother and her children — Balzer, Adam, John, Johanna, Elizabeth and Anna E. — and they settled in Pittsburgh in 1840. In 1845 Adam married Barbara Lentzner, a native of Saschen-Weimar, Germany, born March 29, 1821. They were members of the Smithfield G. P. Church, and he belonged to the I. O. O. F. In Germany he had learned the brewer’s trade, and became prominently interested in that business in Pittsburgh, having erected several breweries, the first one in 1845. The fourth brewery was built in Shaler township, near Bennett Station. Since 1866 his sons and Fred Klussman have continued the business. In 1887 a stock company was formed, of which C. Baeuerlein (our subject) is treasurer. The brewery was formerly known as the Star Brewery; now it is popular as the C. Baeuerlein Brewing company, and is one of the best arranged in the county, its product being second to none. C. Baeuerlein was educated in Pittsburgh, learned the brewer’s business with his father, and at present is general manager of the concern. He was married to Mary, daughter of William Bauer, a gardener, and two children — Alice L. and Nellie M. — have been born to them.
