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 179-180.
Hon. Clem Studebaker, who, with his brother Henry, founded the great Studebaker manufacturing company at South Bend, had a more far-reaching effect on South Bend than any man who has ever lived here by reason of the great industry which he fathered. Mr. Studebaker was born near Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, March 12, 1831, and when he was four years old the family moved to Ashland county, Ohio, where the father conducted a wagon shop. There the boy received his education and learned the fundamentals of blacksmithing and wagon building. Coming to South Bend in 1850, he taught school for two terms, and then opened a blacksmith shop with his brother Henry, doing business under the name of H. & C. Studebaker. This enterprise quickly branched out into wagon building, grew steadily, and soon became the leading business of its kind in the world. The growth and importance of the concern is traced in some detail in the chapter on Manufaturing and Commerce in this work, and will!
give some estimate of the importance of the company to South Bend.
Clem Studebaker, engrossed as he was with the multifarious cares of his enormous business, nevertheless had time to take a constructive part in educational and public movements of various kinds. He was one of the leading Republicans in Indiana, twice being a delegate to national conventions of that party, and on three occasions was made United States commissioner to expositions, those at Paris, New Orleans and Chicago, and at the World's Columbian Exposition he served as president of the Indiana board of managers. He was amember of the board of trustees of DePauw University for many years, and was president of the board of trustees of the Chautauqua Assembly in 1889-90. He was chosen by President Benjamin Harrison to represent the Pan-American Congress held at Washington, where he took an influential part.
He married Mrs. Ann (Milburn) Harper, daughter of George Milburn, a prominent wagon manufacturer in Mishawaka, and their home, one of the finest in the state, is known as Tippecanoe place in commemoration of the famous treaty said to have taken place on the ground it occupies. Mr. Studebaker was known for his charitiy and benevolence, and as a man, his character was unimpeachable in every detail.
[The Tippecanoe Place, the Studebaker mansion on West Washington St., is now a fine dining restaurant. I've been there to eat on a couple of occasions, and its fun to just walk around the house to see what's there. When I was in the 4th grade in the mid 1970's, our class got to tour the house before it was converted into a restaurant. The National Studebaker Museum is still in South Bend, and the entire car collection will be moved to its new facility on West Washington St. (I think) sometime this year.]

Dolla May, the two-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Jasper Hutchinson, died Monday morning at 2 o'clock from convulsions, after an illness of three days. The supposition is that the child got hold of poison in some manner while playing in the yard, as the symptoms were of a strychnine poisoning nature. She was a bright little child and idolized by her parents, who have the sympathy of the entire community. A post mortem will be held to-morrow morning by Dr. Borley and Dr. Borough, to determine the cause of death. The funeral took place Tuesday afternoon from the house, Rev. Henry Little, of the Presbyterian church, officiating.

There was a slight blaze Monday night about 7:30 o'clock in the basement under the Harris meat market. It is occupied by Frank Avery for a paint shop. The fire started in a basement containing paper hanging tools and some rags which had been left there only a half an hour before. It is thought the fire originated from a piece of putty that was covered with the rags. No damage was done.
Mr. William Osgood Orton, of the office force of the Dodge Manufacturing Company, and the son of Mr. and Mrs. T. O. Orton, was united in marriage to Miss Claribel Ormsby, of Milwaukee, Wis., June 20 at high noon at St. James Episcopal church, in the latter city.

Mr. M. M. Fisher has purchased Dr. John Boroughs' lot at Macatawa park and will build a cottage this summer. Mr. E. G. Eberhart, who was at the park last week purchased a cottage and his family will soon occupy it.
Owing to the pressure of business the Mishawaka Woolen Company has found it necessary to add a new engine and boiler to the factory. The engine is a Nordburg, Corliss type, 125 indicated horse power, capable of an actual capacity of 200 horse power. It is being put in place.

Guy McMillan had the second finger of his right hand injured between rollers at the paper mill Monday. On Saturday night Frank Ditsch had a hand injured at the same mill.
Mr. and Mrs. Sherman Kitson, and daughter, Mrs. Fred Newman and children, and Mrs. John McKinney, and children, of Bremen, were guests Sunday of Mr. and Mrs. Sanford P. Kitson.
I am looking for more information on this great great grandmother. She
married William N. Annis April 18, 1869, St. Joseph county. I would like
to see a complete marriage record where it might list more information than
the things (names, date, county) listed in the index, which I found on-line
at ancestry.com. The family is listed in the 1870 census in Union town or
township. I do know that they had three children before she died in
1874. Their daughter Louise also died in 1874. They were buried in
Lakeville, which I think is either Center or Union township. Can I get
death certificates from that far back, 1874?
