John Funk (178401559)
Suggested edit: Rev. John Funk died Monday the 16th ult., at the residence of his son in Washington Township, aged 64 years. Another soldier of the Revolution has taken his departure to the world of spirits. In the day of '76 when our bleeding country lay prostrate at the foot of oppression, he was among the first to raise the cry of liberty and independence although only in his 17th year and was actively engaged in the war for about 5 years. His later days were profitably spent in the service of his God.
