Jesse and Cynthia Funk, was born in
Stark county, Illinois, on July 2S,1S60.
In 1874 he removed with his parents
to Mahaska county, Iowa, settling on
a farm about five miles northwest OF
Eddyyille in West Des Moines town
ship. About ten years later the par
ents moved to Oskaloosa and resided
there till their deaths a few years
ago. The subject of this sketch was
married in 1880 to Emma Il. Harold,
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Jacob Har-
rold Of Oskaloosa. In about 1890 they
removed from West Des Moines
township to Eddyville, and they had
since lived here. The immediate rel
atives who survive are the wife, three
daughters, Misses Mary, Bessie and
Frances, all of this place, one sister,
Mrs. Ada Roach of Oskaloosa, and two
brothers, Isaac L. Funk of Center
vile, and Edgar M. Funk of chandler,
Oklahoma. Mr.. Funk was for quite
a number of years engaged in conduct
ing a meat market here, being first
dSoOCAdlSu Win W. DE- DOul nc anu loS'
er with w. o. Roberts. After retir-
ing from the meat market he became
interested in the Eddyville Sand Co.,
and had since been manager OF the
company. Most of the time since he
moved to town he had been member
of the school board, and was formerly
president of the board. In 1900 he
was elected mayor of the town, and
served two terms, retiring in 1904.
Last spring he was again elected to
that Office, which he had always filed
with good satisfaction. He also took
much interest in the electric light
plant, having been the trustee of the
plant since it commenced operations.
He was also prominently identified
with the knights of Pytnias order and
was a charter member of the Home
steaders' lodge which was organized
here last spring. He was 46 years, l
month and Is days old. The schools
closed Monday afternoon, and the
stores closed during the funeral,
which was held at four o'clock Mon
day afternoon in charge Of the
knights of Pythias.

WOMAN BVRIES HER
INFANT CHILD ALIVE

A special dispatch to the Denver Re
publican from Roswell says:
Mrs. Mary Aiken, who has been con-
fined in the county Jail at Carlsbad on a
charge OF murder in the second degree,
signed n confession that she buried her
child alive on the night of January :, this
year.
She did not show any emotion when she
told Of the horrible crime and gave as her
reason that her husband had deserted her
and that she could not support it. She also
said that The neighbors tainted her because
her husband had left her.
The grand jury at Carlsbad, which is still
in session, indicted her on the charge of
murder in the first degree and returned a
mo" bill in the case OF Arthur Aiken, her
husband lie deserted her three weeks
before the crime was committed and was
arrested at the home of his father at Gate,
Oklahoma.
The woman claimed that a stranger had
taken her child and next day it was found
by %neighbors near the house in a roughly
made grave. When disinterred the hand
of the 7-month-old boy was clutched to a
mesquite root.
When arrested and shown the hand of
her child, the woman did not vince and
claimed innocence until she gave the writ
ten confession. She did not state why she
did not kill the babe before burying it.
She is 80 years of age and is attractive and
stylish. She was tried for her life this
week, and the verdict was insanity and she
was sent to the territorial insane asylum.
