HIS WIFE
Alma L. (Funk) Barnaby, 92, formerly of
Metamora, died Tuesday, February 10, 1998
in London, Ohio.
She was born July 29, 1905, in Oak Run
Township, Madison County, Ohio to John
and Mollie (Kenner) Funk.
Second of seven children, Mrs. Barnaby
was a grade school teacher for many years,
teaching grades 5 and 6 at Metamora High
School.
Alma has the distinction of having two
tombstones. One, with her husband, in
Amboy Township, outside Metamora, and one,
with family, in Kirkwood Cemetery, London.
Both of which, are incorrect. The tombstone
in Amboy with her husband has death as
2001, which should have remained blank
because she was not burried there. And
the one in Kirkwood, with the other Funk
family members, where she actually is
buried, has her born date as the 31st.
Alma (Funk) Barnaby
July 29, 1905 - Feb. 10, 1998
She is survived by four sisters, Edna
Van Orman, Dorothy Hull, Frances Pinnegar
and Florence Castagna.
Preceding in death were her husband Ralph;
parents John and Mollie; and brothers,
John Jr, and George.
Interment Kirkwood Cemetery, London, Ohio.
