Mr. Isaac Milton Funkhouser was born July 25, 1884 and died suddenly while harnessing the horses July 27, 1928 about 6:00 a.m. on his stepmothers farm on Swover Creek, her division of the Sylvanus Mumaw estate. Mr. Funkhouser was preparing to thresh the wheat on their farm that morning
Mr. Funkhouser was the only one in the stable but others were just outside and had talked to him only a few minutes prior to going to the stables to help get out the horses when to their great surprise they discovered Mr. Funkhouser lying beside the horse he was harnessing. There was no evidence that the horse had in any way caused his death. He had been advised by his physician of some organic trouble causing his legs to swell and that he should not exercise vigorously when his legs were swollen
He was 44 year old
and since his fathers death was the foreman in the farm operations
he leaves his step mother, Mrs. Casper Funkhouser, three half sisters, Mrs. Sheridan Miller, Lizzie, of Denny, N. C., Miss Virgie S. Funkhouser, an undergraduate to Rockingham Memorial Hospital, Daisie V and two half brothers W. Sidney and Jesse D. Funkhouser, the latter three at home.
