Isaac Funk Killed by Train

Big Illinois Land Owner Meets Death at Bloomington

Isaac Funk, Sr., was killed by a fast express train from Kansas City, at 
Funk's Grove, a small station on the Chicago and Alton, eight miles south of 
Bloomington. Mr. Funk was at the station waiting for a local train on which to 
come to Bloomington. The express was late and came through about the time the 
local was due. Mr. Funk tried to cross the tracks ahead of the express and was 
killed. He was the youngest son of Isaac Funk, who has been selected for 
the "Hall of Fame" at the University of Illinois, and was born in McLean 
county in 1843. He was engaged extensively in farming and stock raising, and 
owns several thousand acres of the finest farm land in the State. He was an 
uncle of Senator Frank H. Funk.
