Henry Funk, a preacher of the canton of Bern, was scourged and expelled from Bern about 1671.

In every generation there have been preachers and elders among the Funks (Funcks).

The name Funk has been fairly common among South German Mennonites; Christine Funck of near Heilbronn in Württemberg married the church historian [[Horsch, John (1867-1941)|John Horsch]] (1867-1941). In [[North America|North America]] Henry Funck of Franconia served for many years as bishop in the [[Franconia Mennonite Conference (Mennonite Church USA)|Franconia Conference]], and was the author of two books, <em>Spiegel der Tauffe </em>(1744) and a posthumous work, <em>Eine Restitution </em>(1763). His son [[Funk, Christian (1731-1811)|Christian Funk]] (1731-1811) was a Mennonite minister in the Franconia Conference (1756-?) until the [[Funkites|Funk schism]], when he was excommunicated with his uncle Christian; he later served as a minister in the [[Virginia Mennonite Conference (Mennonite Church USA)|Virginia Conference]] of the [[Mennonite Church (MC)|Mennonite Church (MC)]], having moved to [[Virginia (USA)|Virginia]] in 1786. His son Joseph (1778-1862) became "the father of song in northern Virginia," among the Mennonites by establishing his music publishing house, which later became Ruebush, Kieffer and Co., at Singers Glen in Rockingham County in 1847. One of the most prominent descendants of Pioneer Henry Funck was John F. Funk (1835-1930), who was born in [[Bucks County (Pennsylvania, USA)|Bucks County]], PA but who did his lifework in Elkhart County, IN.

Pioneer Henry Funck (d. 1760) located in what is now Franconia Township,<em> </em>Montgomery County, Pa. in 1719. A Jacob Funck was living in the Palatinate in 1753. The name Funk has been fairly common among South German Mennonites; Christine Funck of near Heilbronn in Württemberg married the church historian [[Horsch, John (1867-1941)|John Horsch]] (1867-1941). In [[North America|North America]] Henry Funck of Franconia served for many years as bishop in the [[Franconia Mennonite Conference (Mennonite Church USA)|Franconia Conference]], and was the author of two books, <em>Spiegel der Tauffe </em>(1744) and a posthumous work, <em>Eine Restitution </em>(1763). His son [[Funk, Christian (1731-1811)|Christian Funk]] (1731-1811) was a Mennonite minister in the Franconia Conference (1756-?) until the [[Funkites|Funk schism]], when he was excommunicated with his uncle Christian; he later served as a minister in the [[Virginia Mennonite Conference (Mennonite Church USA)|Virginia Conference]] of the [[Mennonite Church (MC)|Mennonite Church (MC)]], having moved to [[Virginia (USA)|Virginia]] in 1786. His son Joseph (1778-1862) became "the father of song in northern Virginia," among the Mennonites by establishing his music publishing house, which later became Ruebush, Kieffer and Co., at Singers Glen in Rockingham County in 1847. One of the most prominent descendants of Pioneer Henry Funck was John F. Funk (1835-1930), who was born in [[Bucks County (Pennsylvania, USA)|Bucks County]], PA but who did his lifework in Elkhart County, IN. Launching the <em>[[Herold der Wahrheit (1864-1901) (Periodical)|Herald of Truth]] </em>and its companion <em>[[Herold der Wahrheit (1864-1901) (Periodical)|&lt;em&gt;Herold der Wahrheit&lt;/em&gt;]]</em><em> </em>in 1864, Funk was soon a powerful influence in the Mennonite Church. He was ordained as preacher in 1865 and as bishop in 1892. He organized the Mennonite Publishing Co. in Elkhart, IN in 1875. The [[Mennonite Publication Board (Mennonite Church)|Mennonite Publication Board]] bought Funk's publications in 1908 and the <em>Herald of Truth </em>was merged with the new <em>Gospel Witness </em>to form the organ of the MC denomination, the <em>[[Gospel Herald (Periodical)|Gospel Herald]]. </em>There have been numerous other ministers named Funk among the North American Mennonites. Mention should also be made of Isaac Kauffman Funk (1839-1912) of Funk, Wagnalls, and Co., who was of Mennonite descent. The founder of the noted Funk Hybrid Corn Company of [[Bloomington (Illinois, USA)|Bloomington, IL]], was a son of a Mennonite formerly in Baden-Württemberg.<br />
<br />
The name Funk (Funck) was also found in [[West Prussia|West Prussia]], appearing in all [[Frisian Mennonites|Frisian]] as well as in the Old Flemish congregations. At Danzig it has been mentioned since 1674. In 1776, 15 families of this name were counted (without Danzig), and in 1935 there were 35 persons (including [[Elbing (Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship, Poland)|Elbing]]). [[Funk, Stephan (17th/18th century)|Stephan Funk]] was a prominent 18th-century Prussian Mennonite minister. In 1953 seven Funks were serving as Mennonite ministers in [[Canada|Canada]], five in the [[United States of America|United States]], and seven in [[Paraguay|Paraguay]]. A principal center of the Funk family is Hillsboro, KS, where 37 were listed in the 1949 telephone directory.<br />
<br />
As of 1956 the relation between the Prusso-Russian Mennonite and Swiss Mennonite Funk families had not been clarified, but it seems probable that emigrants from Switzerland, South [[Germany|Germany]], or [[Moravia (Czech Republic)|Moravia]] carried the name to Danzig, since the name is not otherwise found in Holland or North Germany. One theory holds that the West Prussian Funks derive from Hutterite immigrants from Moravia. The name appears in the [[Thorn (Kuyavian-Pomeranian Voivodeship, Poland)|Thorn]] area in 1700. Another theory holds that they derive from Swiss Mennonite immigrants to [[Lithuania|Lithuania]]. The [[w381.html|Waterlander]] (also called [[Frisian Mennonites|Frisian]]) congregation of the Kleine Werder near [[Elbing (Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship, Poland)|Elbing]], which was formed directly of immigrants from Lithuania in 1732, had several Funck preachers: Peter Funck, after 1755, and Adam Funck, after 1751.<br />
