Looking for Alvin Perkins (A.P.) FUNK who was born in Iowa and listed in the Bluejacket(Craig County) city council in 1902. However, he supposedly was in the "oil" business in northeastern OK with his brother Charles FUNK. If anyone has any info on these two please pass it along.....Thanks

One Funk mentioned in Coffeyville Journal 1891 -

July 2, 1891 - A shooting scrap occurred on California Creek, in the Indian Territory, a few miles south of Coffeyville, on Thursday afternoon. Beorge Mode, who is employed by T. C. Funk, on his ranch, was on his way to town, when he met Bud McGirl, a young farmer who resides on California Creek. The two young fellows fell out and quarreled. Our information is that Mode drew a 32 revolver and fired two shots at McGirl at short range. Fortunately, neither shot took effect, but both were very close calls for McGirl. Deputy U. S. Marshal Cowden, happened to be in the neighborhood, and he promptly arrested Mode and telegraphed to Ft. Smith for a warrant. (Coffeyville Journal)
