Monday, May 17, 1824 Peter Joseph Uedelhoven
Peter Joseph Uedelhoven was born in Tondorf, Prussia. In 1848 he married Gertrude Blindert and within months they emigrated to America. They settled in Grant County Wisconsin where Peter built a brewery saloon in the town of British Hollow. He ran the brewery until 1858 when he sold the firm to brewer Samuel Stephens and taverner William Mohrenburg. Uedelhoven then moved to Dubuque to become a farmer.
Some time in the 1870s Uedelhoven's daughter Catherine married into the Raab family to Christian Raab, a cooper.
Peter Joseph Uedelhoven died on the 18th of March, 1897 at the age of 72.
The office of the brewery was used later as a VFW clubhouse. Today it is used as a private residence. The lagering cave is all that remains of the brewery complex.
