**********************************************************************

Julius F. Busch, proprietor of the "Cheap Store" and dealer in notions,
dry goods, tinware, gents' furnishing goods, clothing, hats, caps, etc.
is a native of Franklin County, Mo., born in 1851, and is the son of 
Gordian L. and Pauline (Muench) Busch.  The father was born in West-
phalia, Germany in 1821, and when fourteen years of age came to America
with his parents, Louis G. and Mary Anne Busch, who settled two miles 
above Newport in Franklin County, but who failed to get a clear title
to the farm.  The following year they located four miles west of Wash-
ington, and it was here that Gordian L. grew to manhood, married, and
afterward settled on the old home place, where he now resides, and 
where he owns 650 acres.  His wife was born in Hessen, Germany, in 1827
and came to the United States when seven years of age.  To their marr-
iage were born nine children: Julius F., Mary Anne, Edward G. (hardware
merchant in Washington) and Charles, twins (who is raising blooded hor-
ses); Ida (Mrs. C. P. Fricke), Louise, Oscar, Adolph and Frederick.
Julius F. was educated in the home schools and at St. Louis.  At the
age of fifteen he went to that city and worked one year in a store. He
then returned to his home, and when twenty-one years of age went to
Chicago, where he worked one year in a wholesale liquor house.  He then
again returned home and farmed until 1884, when he went to New Haven 
and and established an agency in selling agricultural implements, which
he continued for two years.  For six months he was a partner with J.
Beyer in the pottery business in Washington.  In January, 1887, a stock
company was organized, and Mr. Busch continues to hold stock in the 
same.  In September, 1887, he purchased the "Cheap Store" of W. E. 
Bingham, and has since continued in that business.  February 22, 1877,
he married Miss Adeline Doellner, a native of St. Louis, and to them
were born four children: Ella, Adella, Ottilie and Norvin.  Mr. Busch
is a Republican in politics, and a member of the A. O. U. W.
