The Miller’s Wife: A Colonial Pennsylvania Novel About Henry and Anna Funk

Elwood E Yoder

Henry and Anna Funk carved out a life together on their Colonial Pennsylvania farm located about thirty-five miles northwest of Philadelphia. They built a mill and created a peaceful community that often brought Lenape Indians to their Mennonite homestead. Anna had unique gifts to navigate the hostile tensions among the Iroquois Nation, Colonial Pennsylvania officials, the Lenape, and slaves who came to the Funk farm. The Miller’s Wife is historical fiction, though many characters are based on actual persons, including Mennonite Minister Henry Funk, Oneida Chief Shickellamy, and journalist Ben Franklin. All events took place in the year A.D. 1725.The Miller’s Wife is the third novel in Yoder’s Legacy Print Series. His first book in the series is Margaret’s Print Shop, 2005, and the second book is The Black Tulip, 2014.
