Condensed from a biography of his son in Arthur Cooper Wakeley, Omaha: The Gate City and Douglas County, Nebraska..., Vol. 2 (Chicago: S. J. Clarke, 1917), pp. 719-20:

Fred W. Anheuser, city prosecutor of Omaha, and one of Omaha's most prominent young attorneys, was born at St. Augustine, Florida, April 16, 1884, and is a son of Julius and Ellen (McCotter) Anheuser, the former a native of Germany and the latter a native of South Carolina, representing an old South Carolina family of Scotch-Irish descent. The paternal relatives were the founders of the Anheuser-Busch Brewing Association, of St. Louis, Missouri. Julius Anheuser came to America in 1863 settling first in St. Louis, Missouri, where he engaged in the banking business until 1878. He then removed to Savannah, Georgia, where he took up general merchandising and also entered the cotton business. In 1882 he removed to Florida, where he again carried on general merchandising, and in 1898 he became a resident of Baltimore, Maryland, where he was associated with the Anheuser-Busch Brewing Association, of St. Louis, Missouri. In 1904, he arrived in Omaha, where the family have since made their home, he being with the Anheuser-Busch Company of Nebraska. During his residence in Florida he was active in politics and is a staunch democrat. His wife died in Omaha, April 5, 1913 [sic], at the age of forty-nine years. In the family were ten children, of whom four are yet living: Fred W.; Amalia, a teacher of German in the Omaha schools; Julie, who is vice president of the high school at Hubbard, Nebraska; and Anna, who is attending the Sacred Heart school.
