REV. P. A. KLIEWER Peter A. Kliewer, the son of Frank and Marie Unruh Kliewer, was born in Gretna, Manitoba on Nov. 26, 1879, and lived there until 1889 when he moved to Dallas, Orgeon [sic Oregon].

In 1906-1907 they lived in Dallas and in 1907-1908 they attended Bethel College in Newton, Kansas, preparing for the mission field.
From 1908 to 1924 they were Mennonite missionaries to the Cheyenne Indians in southeastern Montana, serving at Busby and Lame Deer, building and serving the Birney and Ashland stations.
Rev. Kliewer was forced to leave the mission field in 1924 because of illness and the extremes of climate. He served as the pastor of the First Mennonite Church at Monroe, Wash. from 1925-1929.
He was called to the pastorate of the Ebenezer Mennonite Church in Bluffton, Ohio in 1929 and served there until 1941.

In 1941 he returned to Oregon to serve as pastor of the Grace Mennonite Church at Albany until 1949.
In 1950, at the age of 70 he organized the United Mennonite church at Wolf Point, Mont. and later returned to Monroe, Wash. to serve for two years in the Mennonite Country Church.
