RITES SET FOR CRASH VICTIM
MRS. BUSCH TO BE BURIED WEDNESDAY


Greenwood Services for Mrs. Delbert Busch, 30, will be held at 2 p.m. Wednesday at the Grace Methodist Church, the Rev. Lee Holmes officiating. Burial will be made in the Greenwood Cemetery.


The body will lie in state at the Schiller Funeral Home until Tuesday noon, when it will be taken to the home of her parents, Mrs. And Mrs. George Einfeldt. At noon Wednesday, the body will be taken to the church to lie in state until time of services.
Mrs. Busch died late Friday as the result of a train-automobile collision in Spencer.


The accident marked the second violent death within the month for the family. Fred Busch, father-in-law of the deceased, died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound Tuesday, May 3.


The former Edith Einfeldt was born Aug. 31, 1918, in the Town of Warner, Clark County. She received her education in Greenwood schools and graduated from Central State Teacher College, Steven Point. For the past two years she taught at the Greenwood High School.


She was active in church work and was the pianist for Grace Methodist Church Choir.


In June 1943 she was married to Delbert Busch while he was stationed with the Army in Texas. He is still in St. Joseph's Hospital, Marshfield, being treated for injuries sustained in the same accident. It is not known whether or not he will be able to attend the services.


In addition to survivors already named, a son, Wayne, died in infancy in 1914.


Male faculty member of Greenwood High School will serve as pallbearers, and women teachers will have charge of floral arrangements.


Because of the funeral, Class Day exercises scheduled for Wednesday will be held Thursday afternoon instead.
