16, 1898.  Then family then moved to Birmingham and 12 years ago moved 
to Tyrone, Mrs. Funk making her home with her son.  Mrs. Funk was a 
good Christian woman, being a lifelong member of the Methodist 
Episcopal church.  She was the oldest and last surviving member of her 
family.  Surviving are one daughter, Mrs. John S. Atlee, of Sinking 
Valley, and H. Blair Funk, of Tyrone.
