Wurzburg was born in Grand Rapids, April 13, 1879, son of Frederick W. Wurzburg. He attended the public schools of his native city, was in school for a time in Buffalo, N.Y., and spent one year in a gymnasium in Germany, which corresponds to a high school in the United States. At the age of twenty years he entered the Wurzburg department store in Grand Rapids and there gained experience in mercantile business. He later spent two years in New York City, with the Textile Publishing Company, and then went to El Paso, Tex., where he had charge of a mercantile establishment for one year. At the end of that time he returned to Grand Rapids and again entered the Wurzburg store, becoming secretary and treasurer of the company when the business was reorganized. His father returned from active connection with the establishment about 1903, and Edmund W. is now vice-president of the incorporation. He is a member of the Peninsular, Kent Country, Highlands Country and Owashtanon! g clubs, and also of the Association of Commerce. Mr. Wurzburg was married July 16, 1904, to Miss Marguerite, daughter of M.J. and Emily (Jewell) Clark, of Grand Rapids, and of this union have been born four children – Jane, Emily, Margaret and Edmund, Jr.
