Funck & Hertzlercor. Jefferson & 8thMfrs. of the Orchard City Wagon, cultivators, plows, spring-wagons, etc.; their factory was established in 1856 by John A. Funck, who died on the 8th of May, 1877; an extract taken from a circular issued by the surviving partners in July, 1877, will explain the wishes of Mr. Funck, and the condition of the concern at the present time: "The sad fact of the death of our senior partner and father, John A. Funck, one of the oldest citizens of this city, which occurred on the 8th day of May last, cast a gloomy cloud around the remaining partners; but, by his precaution, which was visible in all transactions of his life, this cloud was removed, as he had made such provisions in his last will, that the business and style of the old firm shall not only continue as heretofore, but, shall under his last wishes, prosper and grow in years coming." This establishment has grown to be one of the most extensive in the West; they make 1,500 to 1,600 wagons per year; 600 to 800 cultivators; 1,500 plows; employ, upon an average, 55 men. The present partners are now John Hertzler, John Zaiser, A. F. Hertzler, H. R. Miller, C. D. Funck and A. B. Funck.
