Hi, I have found many family names in the index to the cemetery index
books, which are for sale. Does the book include actual inscriptions
from the headstones? Dates, names, etc.? I am assuming that is what
the books are, but I like to know what I am buying. Luckily the names
ANNIS and DAVIS are mostly in Center and Union townships, nice of them
live in mostly the same area. Thanks to anyone who can share any details.

Mrs. George Redding, who but a short time ago moved from her farm, east of Mishawaka, to Oceola, where she purchased a home, fell down cellar on Friday evening of last week and broke her right wrist and received several bruises. She was getting ready to go to church and opened what she supposed was the closet door, but opened the cellar door instead, there being three doors side by side. Mrs. Redding is over 70 years of age, and is a sister of Mr. Elom Eller, of this city. The latest reports are that she is getting along nicely.
Mrs. Cora A. Kline was united in marriage Tuesday evening to Mr. James M. Berkheiser, a motorman on the electric car line at South Bend. The ceremony was performed at 8 o'clock by the Rev. E. M.

Hi everyone!
Here's some information that you might not have known about the Studebaker family of South Bend.
The Studebakers were originally from Adams County, Pennsylvania living near East Berlin. The family belonged to the Church of the Brethren, and it was here that Henry and Clem's parents passed away. Two Elders of the church were appointed as guardians of the Studebaker children with one them being Samuel Arnold.
Samuel Arnold and his wife were buried in Mummert's Meeting House Cemetery surrounded by many ancestors of the Studebakers.

HISTORY OF INDIANA FROM ITS EXPLORATION TO 1922 BY LOGAN ESAREY, Ph. D., ALSO AN ACCOUNT OF ST. JOSEPH COUNTY FROM ITS ORGANIZATION EDITED BY JOHN B. STOLL (Volume III). "Some Prominent Figures in St. Joseph County History", published in Dayton, Ohio by Dayton Historical Publishing Co., 1923, pages 180-181.
Hon. Timothy Edward Howard. South Bend owes much of its advance in civic improvement to the efforts of Hon. Timothy E. Howard, at one time judge of the Indiana supreme court, now deceased. Judge Howard was born near Ann Arbor, Michigan, January 27, 1837, the son of Martin and Julia (Beehan) Howard, both natives of Ireland who became pioneers of the Michigan territory. Upon his father's death, Timothy, then fourteen years old and the oldest of seven children, took charge of the home farm. He had attended the country schools during the winter months, and at the age of seventeen took two terms of study in the Ypsilanti union school. In his eighteenth year, he entered the University of Michigan, but was able to continue his studies only until the middle of his sophomore year, when he was forced to return to the home farm. He taught school at the age of twenty, and in the following year, and at the age of twenty-one was elected inspector of the schools of Northfield, h!
is native township. When he was twenty-two, he came to South Bend to enter Notre Dame University, and three years later was graduated therefrom, having defrayed his expenses while at college teaching primary classes.
By this time, the Civil war had come on, and on February 5, 1862, he enlisted in the 13th Michigan Volunteer Infantry, and was sent immediately to the front. On April 6th, two months after his enlistment, he was wounded at the battle of Shiloh, and after lying for a time at the Marine Hospital in Evansville, he was discharged on account of his wound on June 14, 1862. Returning to Notre Dame, he was employed as professor of English literature and other classes, and for a number of years he remained with the university.
In 1878, he was elected a member of the city council of South Bend, and served for six consecutive years in that body. During his tenure of that office he brought about the first public park in South Bend, and this park was later named Howard Park in his honor. During this time, also, he served as clerk of the St. Joseph circuit court for four years, beginning in 1879. In 1886 he was elected to the State senate, and served through three sessions, resigning in 1892 at the time of his election as a judge of the supreme court. As a member of the senate he did excellent work, his most notable achievements having been as follows: He was the author of the bill to remove the limestone ledge in the Kankakee river at Momence, Illinois; assisted in framing the Australian ballot law in 1889; brought in the bill for the establishment of the appellate court in 1891. As a judge of the supreme court, Judge Howard acquitted himself of his duties with utmost credit to himself. Du!
ring his career he also served as city attorney of South Bend and county attorney for St. Joseph county, and was chosen on special commissions from time to time which dealt with subjects of vital interest or reform in state government. He was president of the Fee and Salary commission, 1900-01, by appointment of Governor Mount; and was a delegate to the tax conference held at the Pan-American Exposition in Buffalo, May 23-24, 1901 by appointment of Governor Durbin. Governor Durbin also appointed him a member of the commission of 1903-05 for codifying the laws of the state.
Judge Howard was much interested in historical subjects, was at one time president of the Northern Indiana Historical Society, and wrote a history of St. Joseph county in 1907, an authoritative work of great value. In addition, he was the author of miscellaneous papers and books, some of them for use as text books, and prepared while he was an instructor at Notre Dame. Judge Howard was married July 14, 1864 to Julia A. Redmond of Detroit, and to this union ten children were born. His brilliant and essentially useful life was brought to a close on July 9, 1916.

Century Record Broken.
In the century road race at Auburn, Ind., on Labor Day, Webster Stover, of the South Bend Cycling club, tied two other riders for first place. The route was over 70 miles of pike and 30 miles of clay and the time, 7:46; was one minute better than the best record over an all pike route. There were 50 starters in the race.
Progressing Slowly.
Work on the new public library building is going along slowly, owing to delays in securing material and disatisfaction among some of the workmen. All differences have been adjusted, however, and from now on the work will go faster. The building will not be completed on contract time, however, the first of November.
Everybody is Going

Capt. W. R. Ross of South Bend, Ind., is in Pawtucket as the guest of his cousin, Mr. George E. Newell. Capt. Ross is a native of Pawtucket and was one of the original members of the Rough and Ready fire company, which was organized in 1847. He tells with gusto how the old Flower Pot, the Rough and Ready No. 5, used to take water from the hay cart and get "washed," too, and he relates of one instance in which this order of things was reversed and the hay cart had the worst of it. Capt. Ross is in attendance upon the triennial conclave of Knights Templar in Boston, and has spared time to visit his old home. He was a resident of Pawtucket until 1860, when he went to war, and he has not been in this city since the conflict was over. He found it very difficult to find his old friends, as comparatively few of them are left.---Pawtucket, R. I. Times.
Hi everyone!
The other day I posted an article from Rootsweb Review on using safe deposit boxes for storing and protecting family documemts. Here is, as Paul Harvey would say, "the rest of the story".

====================
Safe-deposit Boxes Not Always Safe
By Bonne Handy in Biloxi, Mississippi, USA
How happy I am that I did NOT rent a safe-deposit box for my family
treasures. Hurricane Katrina sent a 40-foot tidal surge onto the Gulf
Coast and destroyed many banks, turning special documents and pictures
into a sodden mess. Users couldn't even get into what was left of the
safe-deposit boxes for weeks after the hurricane.
When I make a back-up CD of my genealogy program I send it to my
daughter in another state for safekeeping. All of my old family
pictures are in my computer, which is easily moved to the car. What my
family has jokingly come to call my "Hurricane Hampers" (large, empty
plastic tubs) are kept in my office ready to be filled in a heartbeat
when we have to pack out for a storm. Plus, I try to make copies of as
many of my tintypes, old pictures, etc. and distribute them to family
members so all will not be lost in case of a disaster.
Granted, this system doesn't work in case of fire, tornado or perhaps
even earthquake. But if you live in a hurricane-prone area, don't trust
a safe-deposit box to protect anything made of paper.
