Gertrude Buholzer "Trudy" Busch

I remember when she came to the farm. She was a beautiful, sweet lady. When Peter and Trudy were small, they built beautiful two story playhouse for them and I babysat the two there many times. My Grandfather was John Wallace. He worked at the farm and was “Little Augies” boss. They were great people. When my Grandfather died, they told my Grandma she could live there as long as she wanted and they continued to pay her his salary until she died.

I remember Aunt Trudys dedication to construction of the chapel on the grounds of Grants Farm. She wanted so much to inject a spiritual quality to the life of the place and her family.
And she did.

My Aunt Trudy. What a person, what a presence ;what a delight. Nice to remember her.

My condolences to the Busch family.

jesus please bless mrs busch an her family. Mrs busch was a big circus elephant fan an myself being a circus elephant wrangler we had alot in common. She was a good catholic and a friend to all animals!

I always enjoyed talking to Trudy about our common Swiss heritage. About 25 years ago, during one of her sojourns in Lucerne, she made a point of visiting Steinhof, the tiny Swiss village where my great grandfather August Schlafly was born in 1850. A few years later, when I was dating Ulrike (who's now my wife), she said it was great that a brewery owner of Swiss descent was dating a German Fraulein. (She pointed out that she was a Swiss Fraulein who had married a brewery owner of German...

As a local craftsman, I had the pleasure of working with Mrs. Busch on a number of occasions. She was always kind and gracious. I'm certain she will be missed by all who knew her. My condolences to the family.

Thank you to the family for caring for Aunt Trudy. She was a tremendous figure in my life.
