HEADLINE: Vernon J. Funk Dead. Former Timberville Bank Clerk Was Ill 
Eighteen Months.

ARTICLE:

Vernon J. Funk, twenty-four years of age, only son of Mrs. Funk and the 
late Hopkins R. Funk, died at his home late Wednesday evening. Death was due 
to spinal trouble, from which Mr. Funk had been a sufferer for three years. 
He spent the last eighteen months of his life in bed as a hopeless invalid.
Mr. Funk was for two years a bookkeeper in the Farmers and Merchants Bank 
at Timberville, going there upon his graduation from the Dunsmore Business 
College in Staunton. He gave up his position when compelled to enter 
Providence Hospital, Washington, for an operation. He was twice operated on 
there and later took treatment in Richmond where his case was pronounced 
hopeless. He was a member of Mount Jackson Lodge of Masons, and of the 
Reformed Church.
In addition to his mother he leaves five sisters—Mrs. James Halterman of 
near Broadway; Mrs. Allen Zirkle and Mrs. Warner Zirkle, of near Moores 
Store; Misses Cora and Annie Funk.
The funeral will be held at 10 o’clock this morning from Solomon’s 
Lutheran Church at Moores Store.
