- Funk_family abstract "The Funk Family is composed of Midwestern United States pioneers that did business in the fields of agriculture, politics, and civic life. Abraham Lincoln was one of Funk Farms' first attorneys[citation needed] and later served in the Illinois House of Representatives with Isaac Funk. Isaac Funk also helped Abraham Lincoln while he was running for president.[citation needed] Absalom Funk was one of Northwestern University's first Trustees; Marquis de Lafayette Funk was on the University of Illinois Board; and the Funks helped found Illinois Wesleyan University and Chicago's Union Stock Yards. Funk's G-Hybrid and the Funk Brothers Seed Company in their day were the world's leading producers of hybrid corn. Funk Farms and Funks Grove (near Shirley Illinois, and home to the Funks Grove highway rest stop off of Highway 55), on the other hand, are still up and running.Frederick Funk was born in Germany and emigrated from The Palatinate to the United States on the Pink Mary in 1733. He sought religious freedom in his new country. During the voyage, Adam Funk was born to his wife Sarah (Moore), who died during childbirth. Adam Funk settled in Shenandoah County, Virginia near Strasburg. He married Sarah Long of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. His son Adam Funk, Jr. was raised in Virginia. Some time around 1790, he moved to Clark County, Kentucky. In 1808, he removed to Fayette County, Ohio. In 1824, he joined his family in Funk's Grove, Illinois, a settlement founded by his sons Isaac and Absalom. He at one time accumulated significant wealth, but died poor. Adam Funk, Jr. had nine children: six sons and three daughters.".
