South Bend, Ind. -- "Aunt Marie"
is dead, and with her passes the orig-
inal house of Studebaker. She was the
sister of the four brothers who es-
tablished the Studebaker Corporation.
They were early pioneers of this na-
tion, migrating from Ohio. "Aunt
Marie" was eighty five years old.
Henry and Clement, two of her
brothers, left the family home at Ash-
land and came to South Bend in 1842.
Their capital was $80, and with it they
began to build wagons. Later they
persuaded the parents to bring the
family here. Other brothers entered
the wagon building business and out
of the enterprise developed the Stude-
baker Corporation, which a few years
ago, left the family control
