Johann Funk with his third wife Louise and their foster daughter Justina Klassen, ca 1890. Funk was more open to the evangelists who came to the West Reserve in the 1880s than many of his parishioners, precipitating a split in his church that gave rise to the larger Sommerfelder and smaller Bergthaler Gemeinden.
