Charles f. Funk was born at
Polo, Illinois November 5, 1867.
While but a small child, he
moved with his parents to Vic
tor, Iowa, and little later to
Golden, Illinois.
At the age of eighteen years
he returned to Victor, Iowa,
and remained there for several
years, in the employ of the
Chicago, Rock Island and Pa
.cific railroad, as train dispatch
er.
His next move was TO Denver,
Colorado, where he engaged
in the mercantile business.
Finally disposing of this he
again returned to the employ
of the railroad.
After several years stay in
the west, he returned again to
Iowa and located at Whatcheer
where he engaged in the news
paper business.
With the breaking of his
fathers health, he disposed of
all business interests and de-
voted his entire time and atten-
ton to the care of his parents,
and after the death of his faith
er, remained as his mothers
constant companion.
With his parents he came to
Meade county in 1903, and here
