The Funk Family is comprised of Midwestern pioneers in agriculture, politics, and civic life.[1]. Abraham Lincoln was one of Funk Farms' first attorneys (and later served in the US Senate with Isaac Funk); Absalom Funk was one of Northwestern University's first Trustees[2]; Marquis de Lafayette Funk was on the University of Illinois Board; and the Funks helped found Illinois Wesleyan University and Chicago's Union Stockyards.
