  • 1949 Packard Super Deluxe by Bruce Sedel Chesapeake, VA
    Packards Virginia Members Pages My 1949 Packard Super Deluxe By Bruce Sedel Chesapeake, VA I have enjoyed the exclusive pleasure of decades-long ownership of numerous Packard automobiles beginning with a 1949 Super Eight sedan, one of five straight-eight powered Packard’s that I have bought and sold since 1974. All were operationally terrific automobiles largely attributable to these magnificent Packard-built engines that have always provided seemingly endless miles of dependable and reliable driving pleasure. Down the road I even got bit by the V-eight bug and for a number of years, focused my attention on a few of these later model Packard cars including a 1956 Four Hundred that I had acquired in 1995. Of course we all know these are huge, heavy and powerful vehicles capable of continuous high-speed interstate driving all while being surrounded in the highest level of luxury and ultra-comfort. Although I prefer straight-eight’s, one only needs to drive a v-eight torsion-level Packard to truly understand where Packard was going with the brand. Even though they represented such a monumental departure from the Packard standard that had stood for so many years, the automobile market was evolving and certainly Packard was heading in the right direction. The company had after all, focused nearly its entire production life powering its automobiles with straight-eights. The subject matter of this story involves a strange twist of events culminating in the acquisition of a rare straight eight bathtub instead of a v-eight car that was originally the focus of my efforts.

  • Death of John W. Studebaker P97 John W
    Volume 37, Issue 4 Collecting, recording and sharing the genealogical history of family groups Fall 2002 Death of John W. Studebaker P97 John W. had married Hannah Ulery, sister to Mary, wife of his brother David, thus making these two families particularly close. John became a 'Visiting Brother" in the Church. He continued to buy and sell land after he came to Ohio. His health must not have been good, as he made his will April 23, 1832 and revised it that June when he was only 45 years old. He died the following January, leaving 14 living children, 7 of whom were minors. Hannah Ulery had her hands full, but with the help of her older children, managed to keep the family together. Both she and her sister were strong characters. I found no record of any of John's children being apprenticed. Perhaps John and Hannah did not approve of how Abraham handled the guardianship of David's offspring. The two Ulery sisters, now both relatively young widows By Miriam Owen Irwin with large families, had the advantage of being born into two P984-611 fine, supportive families. They were daughters of Elder Samuel Ulery and his wife, Mary Elizabeth Brumbaugh. John and Hannah's oldest son, Samuel [+P971] was 25 and married to Elizabeth Minnich when John W. died. As his inheritance, he received a farm called the Knoop place. Later they moved to Clark County, Ohio. We have not been able to follow the genealogy of Samuel's eight children. Mary Studebaker [+P972] had married Eli Gump before her father died.
