Notes
a. Note:   N Dec. 9, 1817. They lived on their farm near Bethlehem, in Northampton County, PA. Here were born to them the following 9 children: Samuel, Elizabeth, William, Cyrus, Mary Ann, Barbara, Cecelia, Henry and Sarah. In the year 1834, Ralph took a trip through the central and southern part of Indiana, and the south-western, southern and central parts of Ohio, in view of a location for a future home. He started in company with Messers. Bechtel and Barto. They traveled by stagecoach and it required 12 days of continuous journey going from Bethlehem to Indianapolis. Here the stage route ended. They then walked 40 miles. Now Ralph purchased a fine riding horse, and a few days after, seperating from his companions, he made the remainder of his journey alone. Returning home after an absence of several weeks, he sold their farm, and in the autumn of 1835, he again went to Wayne County, Ohio, purchased a cultivated farm situated 3 miles south of Wooster, the county seat, consisting of 260 acres (on which was a flouring mill), at the cost of $7500, after which he returned home again. He made preperations to move with his family on the first day of April, but a deep snow having fallen, he was detained until the 18th day of April, 1836. Their youngest child was now 11 weeks old. He started with one covered wagon (commonly called a dry land schooner), drawn by 4 large horses, and another wagon drawn by 2 horses. He with his wife and smaller children, rode in a comfortable 2 horse carriage. They carried provisions, and putting up in taverns along the way, they cook their own food. This being the custom, most tavern had the conveniences for this purpose. His brother, Kaufman Funk, went with him, but soon after, returned to PA. The expense of moving was $100. George Bechtel also moved his family in company with Ralph, and bought an adjoining farm, where he spent the remainder of his life. It took them 21 days to make the journey. Ralph then followed millimg, and with the help of his sons, the farming business. There being no market in Wooster, they drew their produce to Fulton and Massillion, the trip taking 2 or 3 days. Thier 4 youngest children were born here: Matilda, Sophia Malinda, Kaufman, and Maria Isabella. Ralph and his wife were memmbers of the Mennonite Church.While he lived in Ohio, the nearest church of their persuasion was 10 miles distant, where they occasionally attended services. They both had strong constitutions, good health, and led temperate, moral, honest, Christion lives, and imparted these same good qualities to their children and grandchildren: for which give God the Glory. Ralph FUNK died March 1846 and was buried in the graveyard adjoining his farm. This farm and Mill were then sold and Nancy FUNK bought a smaller farm in the same county, 10 miles west of Wooster, and near the church they formerly had attended. Here she, with her younger children, lived: her son William, farming the place until she died, Dec 23, 1850, and was buried in the graveyard by the church. The farm was then sold, and the estte divided among the children. The younger children found homes with the older married ones.
Note:   Ralph FUNK, son of Henry FUNK, was born A.D., 1794 in Springtown,Bucks County, PA. While at home with his father, he was occupied in the milling business. He was united in marriage with Nancy KAUFMA
