AMOS G. FUNK, a progressive and successful farmer residing on his homestead of sixty-five acres one mile south of Millersville, was born April 25, 1838, on his father's farm in Manor township, and farming has been his life occupation.
Amos G. Funk attended the public schools in his youthful days, and proved an apt scholar. He began his business life by farming on the old homestead for one year, and then settled on his present farm, which is one of the finest of its dimensions in the vicinity of Millersville. About 1892 he succeeded to the original Funk homestead, which contains 102 acres, on which two of his sons at present have their residence. In connection with farming Amos G. Funk has for the past twentythree years conducted a dairy, supplying Millersville with milk, cream, butter, etc., and together with his cattle and fields has made for himself a comfortable competency.

In 1867 Amos G. Funk married Miss Elizabeth Herr, daughter of Christian and Elizabeth (Shenk) Herr, and five children have graced their union, viz: Mattie H., the eldest, died in infancy. Christian, married Miss Mary Herr, and has a family of three
children, Roy, Christian and Amos; he resides on the old homestead. Martin, also residing on the home farm, is married to Susan Herr, who has borne him one child, Elizabeth. Elizabeth H., married Willis Hershey, of Lancaster township, and they
have one child, Ruth Elizabeth. A. Herr, the youngest, lives at home.

The Funk family are members of the Mennonite Church, of which they are among the strongest supporters financially, and the teachings of which they strictly follow, thus winning' the heartfelt esteem of all who know them.
