FUNK-Hiram - Fountain County INGenWeb Project

Hiram FUNK and his wife Eliza moved from Ohio to this county in the spring of 1823. They first settled near where Hetfield's Mills now are, but soon after moved to the north part of the county and lived there until they died. When Mr. Rush [sic- Funk?] left the central part of the county he sold his land to Samuel Rush, who was himself one of the first settlers, and one of the county's best citizens.
