On June 24, 1921, Lydia married Wilhelm Funk, Conrad's brother. Lydia and Wilhelm had four more children. While Lydia is listed with her family as a member of St. Paul in 1910, she is identified as having "married out" of the congregation, and is not listed in any other of the parish records.
Philipp and Maria had joined their daughter Sophia at the Schönfeld Reformed congregation briefly in 1906, leaving again in 1909, presumably before chartering St. Paul in 1910. Philipp died of stomach cancer on April 17, 1912. His was the first funeral at St. Paul. Maria died December 31, 1921. They are buried in the Fairview Cemetery.
