His father died in 1829 and Buhrer was entrusted to the Society of Separatists until he was old enough. Buhrer was educated mainly in Sunday School until he was twelve and he started learning a trade. Buhrer left the farm and traveled to Cleveland to work as a cooper. Buhrer then became a traveling salesman before returning to Cleveland to open his own coopering shop. He sold his shop and then began distilling alcohol for a living until he eventually became a wholesale distributor of alcoholic beverages. Buhrer was a three-term member of the city council until he was elected as mayor of Cleveland in 1867. The Cleveland House of Correction & Workhouse was built under his term as mayor. After serving two terms, he returned to serve another term on the city council before he died in Cleveland in 1907.
