Number 20 of 22 children, Busch (1839-1913) and three of his brothers left their native Germany, and the family's wine and brewery supply business, for St. Louis in 1857. He soon met and married Lilly Anhueser, whose father, Eberhard, owned a small brewery. The men formed Anheuser Busch. Adolphus and Lilly had 13 children. He died while vacationing in Germany.
