Tucked away in a hidden glade of Sunset Memorial Park, the graves of Gussie Busch and his brother Adolphus III are joined by other members of his family.
The boy with the fawn has some significance, which I read once but have now forgotten.
Update: This almost certainly must be a reference to The Yearling, a story that would have been popular at the time.
Adolphus Busch III ran the brewery before dying of a cerebral hemorrhage; his father is buried nearby.
Nearby is the grave of Gussie Busch and his daughter, who was tragically killed in a car crash in the 1970’s.
I didn’t realize those Busch family members were buried there instead of in Bellefontaine. Either way, I am more amazed by the relative modesty of these graves. Very nondescript for some of the country’s upper-upper-crust.
I remember bringing our young daughter who was probably three years old to grantfarm mr Busch put our daughter up on the stagecoach that he rode around the garden.
