Absalom and his brother, Isaac, established Funks Grove in 1824. They began a successful farm and cattle business. In 1835, he moved to Chicago to manage the partnership's affairs in that city. They lost half of their fortune in the Panic of 1837, and later dissolved their partnership, with Isaac buying out his share.
