THE FUNKHOUSER FAMILY by Jacob Funkhouser

The subject of this sketch was the
youngest of Uncle Daniel Funkhouser's
children. It is regretted that the information relating to her descendants
is not as full and complete as desired. Her appreciative son says:
"I think of my mother's life as a
graceful stairway, with seventy two
steps gently rising into the seventy-third, and it seemed that each new
step more of Christ and more of all the good and beauty of this world was
breathed in by
all the good and beauty of this world was breathed in by this climbing soul, and
when
Death's angel came to call her home, that messenger found this child of
Mortality already part of the way up, for she said just before she died, 'O, I
hear
such sweet music.' This climber did not need to look down and weep, but can
still
look up and find the step changed to a diviner marble, and see the Power, the
Kingdom and
Glory of God, forever."
