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.

I am a Studebaker descendant. I question the information in the above
message. Henry and Clem's father was John Clement Studebaker who died in 1877 in
South Bend and is buried in the South Bend cemetery.
Samuel Arnold was appointed guardian to 20 year-old Peter B. Studebaker in
1769. Peter was third son of Clement Studebaker, migrant to PA from Germany.
Clement was the great grand father of Henry and Clem.
