From "History of La Crosse County, Wisconsin", 1881, p. 754. City of La Crosse M. FUNK was born in Germany in 1831. At the age of 21 years he emigrated to America; and in 1865 he came to La Crosse, where he established the La Crosse Steam Boiler Works. (See sketch of works under head of "Manufacturers.")
