John Funk, a successful ranchman living in the vicinity of Eastlake, raised the first crop in his district and through out the intervening period has been closely identified with the development of ranching interests in that section.
Thirty seven years have been added to the cycle of the centuries since he took up his abode in Colorado and during this period he has lived in several localities but at all times he has been a contributing factor to the progress of the community in which he has resided.
