Excerpts from the 1891 Biographical Sketch of her husband, Henry Funk:
HENRY FUNK is [a] steamboat agent at Hasting's Landing where he is also prosperously engaged in farming, owning and occupying one of the fine farms of Point Precinct. He is a native of this part of Calhoun County, his birth taking place on the 30th of September, 1852.
Henry Funk was the oldest son of his parents, and he was young when they moved to Richwoods Precinct, where he was reared to man's estate, gleaning his education in the local public schools. He assisted his father on the home farm until he was twenty-two years old, when he commenced to work at the trade of a carpenter which he pursued four years. After that we find him in Lincoln County, Mo., where he rented land and continued to reside until early in 1890, when he returned to his native county and bought the farm he now owns and occupies, including Hasting's Landing. He has here one hundred and thirty-five acres of highly productive well tilled land, which he is constantly improving. Besides the income derived from his farming operations he makes money from his position as steamboat agent.
To the lady who has assisted him in establishing a neat and comfortable home, Mr. Funk was wedded in 1875 [sic]. Mrs. Funk was formerly Susan Elizabeth Hagen. She was born in Hanover, Germany, in 1852 and came to America when quite young with her father Garrett Hagen. Mr. and Mrs. Funk have seven children, whom they have named Julia A., Theodore C., George G., Ida J., Charles J., Laurence E.; and Leo Anton who died aged eighteen months. The family are members in good standing of St. Mary's Catholic Church at Brussels. Mr. Funk is an honest, upright man of good repute and is deserving of the success that he has most during a well spent life.
