Peter A. Auer, Clerk in the Second Comptroller's Office in the Treasury 
Department at Washington, D.C., was born April 

15, 1849, on the Rhine, Prussia.  His parents, John H. and Maria Auer, are 
natives of Prussia, and removed with their 

family in 1853 to the city of New York, and afterwards resided successively in 
Schenectady, Perry, Moscow and Mount 

Morris, in the Empire State, where his father pursued the business of tailor, 
later removing to Almont, Mich., and 

afterwards to Reed City.  ( See sketch of J.H. Auer.)

Mr. Auer was carefully educated, and at 17 became a clerk in Almont.  He 
attended school after a year's service in that 

calling, and continued his studies a similar period.  In 1868 he interested 
himself in insurance business, in which he 

operated two years.  In 1870 he engaged in teaching, in which he was occupied 
two years.  In October, 1872, he came to 

Reed City and entered upon the pursuit of the same calling; also for a year 
was Deputy Postmaster.  He obtained a 

position as Clerk in the Treasury Department at the National Capital, and 
attended the Law Department of the Columbian 

University, where he was graduated, in the spring of 1877.  Since that date he 
has discharged the suties of his position 

in the Department, and at intervals has practiced as an attorney.

Mr. Auer was married in 1875, to Emma L. Patterson, daughter of J.Q. 
Patterson, of Reed City.  (See sketch of J.Q. 

Patterson.)  Mr. and Mrs. Auer have two children, namely:  Harry, born May 10, 
1878 and Nellie, born April 19, 1881.

In March, 1882, Mr. Auer was admitted to practice in the Supreme Court of the 
United States, and is also qualified to 

practice in the circuit Courts of Michigan, to which privilege he was admitted 
at Hersey.  He is a member of the Masonic 

fraternity, belonging to the Blue Lodge and Chapter.
