Son of Ulrich Busch and Anna Anheuser. Husband of Bessie Dexter Busch.
Edward Busch was born In St. Louis, but spent his early childhood in Germany with his parents, the late Mr. and Mrs. Ulrich Busch. His maternal grandfather, Eberhart Anheuser, was one of tho founders of Anheuser-Busch, Inc. and he was a nephew of the late Adolphus Busch and a cousin of August A. Busch.
EDWARD A. BUSCH SMILED THROUGH PAIN, HAYS SAYS
Was Ardent Baseball Fan and Great Admirer of Race Horses.
Edward A. Busch, 64, former purchasing agent for Anheuser-Busch, Inc., and later founder of E. A. Busch & Co., railroad supplies, who died yesterday of Bright's disease at Hotel Jefferson, where he had lived for fifteen years, was a familiar figure in the lobby of the hotel, where from his invalid chair he would converse cheerily with guests and visiting friends.
"A man who suffered much, but smiled through it," was the tribute of Lyman T. Hay, president of the hotel company. "I never heard him complain," Hay said, "though far back as twenty, years ago he suffered intensely from rheumatic grout, and pain followed him through all his later years."
Busch and his second wife, Mr. Bessie Dexter Busch, occupied a suite on the fifth floor. Part of the time he had a valet who also acted as his chauffeur. But usually he went up and down in the elevator, wheeling his chair unaided. He returned ten days ago from his summer home at McHenry, Ill., where he had been since May.
"He enjoyed the socialibilt of other men and was fond of swapping yarn," Hay said. "Old business associates and especially old German friends constantly visited him, and he was on intimate terms with the regular guests of the hotel."
Bunch was an ardent baseball fan and expressed great joy in the triumph of the world champion Cardinals. He frequently attended the ball games. He was a great lover of horses and liked to talk about the races. In the old Fairgrounds racing days he often visited the club and would sit out on the lawn, the center of a group of horse lovers like himself.
Busch was a nephew of the late Adolphus Busch and a cousin of August A. Busch. Besides the widow, he leaves a son, Sidney, who is president of the Busch Corporation, a railroad supply firm. The funeral will be at 2 p.m. Friday from Wagoner's undertaking chapel, 3621 Olive street.
