Their dau. Isadora (Dora) md. John Funk, a grandson of Joseph, I believe. Their children, all daughters, were Daisy (1877), Minnie(1878), Edna (1882), Vada (1886) and Beatrice (1889) and a son (1891). > ------------------ In my records I have that Solomon FUNK ( Dec 1825 - 13 Jun 1880) was the son of Joseph FUNK and Rachel BRITTON. Him and his wife, Elizabeth KOINER Funk (2 May 1831 - 10 Aug 1892) are both buried in Singer's Glen cemetery, Singer's Glen, Rockingham Co., Va. In fact, I have pictures of both of their tombstones. Solomon and Elizabeth had two daughters, Minnie and Isadora. Minnie (18 Mar 1857 - 15 Feb 1864) is buried next to her parents. The other daughter, Isadora B. (18 Dec 1858 - 16 Aug 1952) married John S. FUNK on June 5, 1876. John (18 Apr 1847 - 3 Jan 1917) was born in Rockingham Co., Va. the son of Jonathan FUNK and Mary DRIVER. John and Isadora are also buried in the same cemetery as her parents. Their children would consist of the following: 1. Daisy Pearl Funk (17 May 1877 - 28 Sep 1901) 2. Minnie Myrtle Funk (20 Oct 1878 - 10 Mar 1920) 3. Edna I. Funk (5 Jan 1882 - after 1965 ) 4. Vada Elizabeth Funk (26 Jul 1886 - 5 May 1965) 5. Norma Beatrice Funk (7 Jan 1889 - 11 May 1979) 6. John S. Funk, Jr. (4 Aug 1891 - 1984) Daisy, Minnie, Vada, and Norma are all buried there in Singer's Glen too. Edna Funk MASON was still alive and living in Harrisonburg when her sister Vada died. I think if someone looks up on the SSDI they will find the actual death date of John, Jr. I have nice long obituaries on John and Isadora FUNK. The next time I am home in Salt Lake City I will dig them out and post them on the List if anyone is interested. I hope the little bit of information I have provided helps someone out. Gary R.
