Many thanks for those on these two St Louis lists who replied to my inquiry. Prior to asking, I did some research and according to the Grants Farm website fact sheet, as well as several Anheuser-Busch websites and a site sent to me by Betty about the history of a Compton Heights address, Grants Farm (216 acres) was purchased by August A. Busch Sr, in 1903 and not developed into his estate until 1913. Prior to that date, a stable for the horses was constructed in 1885, but cannot find that location's name, or specific place. The Compton Heights address simply states that a property was purchaed by Busch in 1893, but does not say why. Many properties were purchased by the Busch family for many reasons so this may be difficult to find out where the horses were prior to the 1903 purchase of Grants Farm. According to my research, my great-grandfather was the foreman/horseshoer for the estate in the 1880's-1907? His son, my grandfather, was born in a cottage on the estate in 1894. I would like to find them in the 1900 census. With the info I researched as well as the info I received from list members, my ancestors had to have lived somewhere other than Grants Farm prior to 1903 and maybe even 1913 when supposedly it was developed into the new estate. Some of you mention another estate on the grounds of the brewery. This may have been the place used prior to 1903-1913 for the horses. What ward would this have been in 1900? Greg mentions an older Busch estate out by the Sunset County Club. What was this place called in the 19th century? Does is predate the above places? My great-grandfather was supposedly mean to the clydesdales, there are even stories that have been handed down through several family branches about his cruelty, he even supposedly knocked one out cold! Thanks all, Dan Hogan
