Manitowoc Herald News, Thursday, January 4, 1923 P.3. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ GRIM REAPER EXACTS HIS TOLL OF DEATH Apoplexy ended the long and useful career of Henry Funk, aged eighty-seven years when he died Friday last at the home of his son, Henry Funk Jr., who resides on the Tannery Road. Deceased was still hale and hearty and sat chatting after enjoying his evening meal when he became suddenly ill. Upon the arrival of a physician who was hastily summoned, it was found that he had passed away. Henry Funk was born in Dieenbach, Germany in 1835. When a young man of eighteen years of age, both of his parents died and he came to America. He located at Antonogan, Michigan, where he was married to Louise Weinshank in 1863. Four years later, the Funks moved to Two Rivers and after living there a while they acquired a farm about six miles from Two Rivers on the Tannery Road. Here Mr. Funk spent the rest of his life. He worked hard and lived an upright life, making many friends. He held several township offices and was a charter member of the St. Joseph's Society fifty years ago. Thirteen years ago his wife passed away and shortly after his son, Henry became owner of the homestead. Deceased is survived by six children, Mrs. Helen Schaff, Christ, Henry and Mrs. Peter Mueller, all of Two Rivers; Mrs. Mike Rhinehart of Manitowoc Rapids, Mrs. Fred Benzinger of Cavour, Wis.
