She leaves her mother, Mrs. Matilda Busch, her husband and three sons, Edgar, Dan and Elmer, four sisters, Anna and Lillian, Mrs. Laura Ruggeberg, Mrs. Esther Scott and five brothers, John, Edward, Raymond, Arthur of Lost Nation, and Fred of Forest City, Iowa. Her father, John D. Busch, preceded her in death a year ago. She and her husband had purchased a farm in Wisconsin and intended in a few days to move there to make their home, but death has changed all plans. The funeral services were held at the Union church Wednesday afternoon in the presence of a large number of sympathizing friends. Rev.
