  http://dewitt.ilgenweb.net/obits-f.htm#susan_downey_funk March 4, 1887 Clinton Public Death of Mrs. Cyrus Funk. After a long and painful illness Mrs. FUNK died last Friday night. Mrs. Funk, whose maiden name was Susan DOWNEY, was born in Pocahontas county, Virginia, on the 17th of October, 1830. In the year 1851 she came to Clinton to visit her sister, Mrs. MADDEN, and while here she made the acquaintance of Mr. Cyrus FUNK, to whom she was married in the year following. She was the mother of three children, all of whom are living. William, for the past few years a partner in the firm of Amsden and Funk, was her oldest son. Her daughter Minnie is the wife of Mr. J. R. JONES, and now lives in Fort Worth, Texas. Darby is the youngest of the family, and he is now at home, having come a few weeks [ago] when his mother was considered to be dangerously sick. Mrs. Funk united with the Methodist Church when she was but sixteen years old, and during her life she maintained the character of a true Christian woman. For more than thirty-six years her home was in this city. She was active in all womanly enterprises, and especially in the temperance work was her influence exerted. She was buried in Woodlawn Cemetery on Tuesday afternoon. ------ http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GRid=12821151 Susan D.
