DEATH OF WILLIAM FUNK.
A Former Clinton Merchant Found Dead Along the Railroad Near Knoxville, Ill., Wednesday.
About two o'clock Nov. 23 William Funk, of Bloomington, formerly of Clinton, was found dead by a farmer, near Knoxville, about two and a half miles east of Galesburg. There were no bruises on the body to indicate there had been foul play or that he had been struck by a train. He laid on his back as if he was asleep, and his clothing was in no way disarranged. It was decided he had been walking along the track and was stricken with apoplexy.
He was engaged in the insurance business with his brother-in-law, John Hammond, in Bloomington. Tuesday morning he was at home and seemed as well as usual, except he complained of a severe pain in the back of his head, but refused to consult a doctor. He left his office about 9 o'clock that morning, and was seen at the depot just before noon. This was the last heard of him until his body was found. It is thought the pain was so severe that he partly lost his mind and did not know where he was going. There was nothing wrong with his business affairs and he had drawn no money from the bank since Nov. 14.
Wm. Funk was born in Clinton, June 14, 1854, and was a son of Cyrus Funk, one of Clinton's well known citizens, who died about fifteen years ago. Feb. 28, 1883, he was married to Miss Ella Sackett, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. A. M. Sackett, the latter still living and resides in Clinton. One son was born to them Nov. 13, 1889, and he and another boy were killed south of Clinton in 1897 by a sand bank caving in while they were gathering flowers. For many years he clerked in the dry goods store of Magill Bros. in this city and later he and Mr. Amsden bought and conducted the business, the firm name being Amsden & Funk. Several years ago he moved to Bloomington where he had charge of the dry goods department of a store until about a year ago, when he resigned to engage in the insurance business.
