Daily Times, Davenport, Scott, Iowa, Dec 18, 1895

PIEPER
Word was received in the city yesterday afternoon announcing the death
of August Pieper, a well known former Scott county resident, which occurred
at his home in Stockton Monday evening. The deceased was born in Hamburg
in 1813 and before leaving the Fatherland, he joined the Icarian community
which settled near Nauvoo, Ill., but a couple of years later he left the
settlement because of some dissensions and after a short stay at St. Charles,
Mo., he came to Davenport in company with his wife. While here he was connected
with the Washburne hardware store for a time and later with the Beiderbecke-Miller
establishment. Mr. Pieper was one of the founders of the Davenport Maennorchor
and an active member of the Turner Society. During the civil war Mr. Pieper
enlisted in the "gray beard" regiment but never saw active service as they
were not sent to the front on account of the advanced years of some of
its members. For several years past he has resided in Stockton where his
death occurred. In 1858 his first wife died but he remarried and the present
Mrs. Pieper survives him with two children, Mrs. Charles Beiderbecke of
this city and a son, Adolph Pieper.
The remains will be brought to Davenport for incineration in accordance
with the expressed wish of the deceased, and the funeral will take place
from the B.C.R. & N. depot Thursday morning going directly to the crematorium.
