American Christian missionary (1874–1912) who opened a one-room school and hostel for poor girls in India, and was returning home to Pennsylvania aboard the Titanic to visit her ailing mother. It is said that, upon realizing there was just one seat remaining in one of the rescue boats, Funk heroically gave it up to a mother and child and chose to go down with the ship. Rare unused composite real photo postcard featuring a portrait of Funk and images of her house and school in India, captioned: “Miss Annie C. Funk, Missionary to India 1906 to 1912. Miss Funk perished in wreck of Steam Ship Titanic as she was returning home on her first furlough April 15th 1912.” In fine condition, with silvering to dark areas of the image. A beautiful postcard memorializing the heroine at the center of one of the Titanic’s most moving stories.
