Later they had a general store and a meat market in the village. Mr. Funk was Withee’s first president and the second postmaster. He also served for several years on the school board and as clerk of Longwood and Hixon Townships.

Their children who attended the celebration are George, Theresa, Edmund, and Mrs. L. H. Munson (Ida) of Withee; Mrs. Anna Davidson of Appleton; and Mrs. William Vogelin (Emma) of Minneapolis, Minnesota. A son, Herbert, died in 1905. Among the other relatives attending were Mrs. George Funk, L. H.
