(From the 1883 History of Pottawattamie County, Iowa, by J. H. Keatley, p.13, Council Bluffs)
M. P. Brewer, attorney, Council Bluffs, has been a resident of Council Bluffs since 1867. He is a native of Oneida County, N. Y., where he graduated from Hamilton College of Clinton. He subsequently graduated from the law department of the Michigan University, of Ann Arbor, after which he came to Council Bluffs, and spent one year in the law office of Judge Caleb Baldwin. In the spring of 1868, he began practice with Mr. Hart, under the firm name of Hart & Brewer. In one year's time the firm again changed, and became Clinton, Hart & Brewer. Busienss was done by this firm until May, 1882, when Mr. Hart changed his residence to Minneapolis, Minn., and Mr. Clinton retired from business. Mr. Brewer has since continued in practice at the old office, in the Officer & Pusey bank building.
