Funek, one of the oldest citizens of this city, which occurred on the 8th day of May last, cast a gloomy eloud around the remain- ing 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 hereto- fore, 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.
