MARTIN FUNK
Martin Funk settled on land bought of Henry Massie in 1803, built a cabin and started a distillery. Corn could be carried to New Orleans in a liquid state, in bulk, much cheaper than any other way. Martin Funk's farm was the ground for militia training, and his son John was the principal musician; he played the fife splendidly. They lived at "Old Town" from 1798, and then moved, as above.
