Sophia Funke [Arps] [1852 – 1922] New Holstein Reporter --- April 21, 1922
Mrs. Ernst Funke Sr., passed away early Thursday morning from heart trouble after having had several severe attacks during the past winter. Her death at this time was unexpected by her many friends as she was attending to her household duties and had been about town on numerous occasion during the past week.
Sophia Arps, daughter of the deceased John Arps Sr., was born in the town of New Holstein on September 2, 1852. On May 9, 1870 she was united in marriage to Ernst Funke. Two children were born to them, Edward Funke of this village and Mrs. Edward Arps of Nuelo, Colorado, who with the husband survive.
Mr. and Mrs. Funke have always made their home in New Holstein where Mr. Funke in the early years of their marriage was an agent for a brewery. Later he purchased the saloon property which he disposed of to John Voigt in 1905. He then built a residence near the high school building where they have lived for the past seventeen years.
Owing to the death of Mrs. Ernst Funke Jr., they were unable to celebrate their golden wedding anniversary which occurred on May 9th, 1920. Mrs. Funke was one of the charter members who organized the Cemetery Ladies Aid Society about twenty-five years ago. She was a woman of lovable disposition and readily made friends with all she came in contact with. Her first duty was always in her home. She was a good wife and mother.
Mrs. Funke was always finding something to do for others and found happiness in lending a helping hand at all times.
