Preserving a Legacy Continued from Page 1 uniquely creative coach styling and design, an area in which their cars almost always were ahead of the curve. Even those not familiar with the brand probably will remember the graceful, streamlined curves of the 1966 Avanti. That legacy survives today because of a remark- able museum I had the pleasure of visiting. But more on that later. Henry & Clement Studebaker founded H&C Studebaker in South Bend in 1852. Blacksmithing, woodworking and custom-built wagons were their business. The Studebaker family grew up in Germany and immigrated to America in 1736, espousing the val- ues of their Dunkard religious background that included hard work, thriftiness and the ideal of con- tributing to their community and the good of their fellow men. The museum’s assistant director, Jo McCoy, and archivist, Andrew Beckman. Henry and Clement learned blacksmithing and The business started small, with but a few hand wagon-building skills from their father, John, who tools, two anvils, a rugged determination and the built the wagons that originally transported their family motto, “Owe no man anything but to love one family from Philadelphia to South Bend in 1851. another.” The brothers thus set out to found a transportation company and a family legacy. Opportunities seem to present themselves to men of vision, men hungry to prove themselves in the world. These opportunities often carry visionaries in directions that could not have been fore- seen at the outset of their life’s journey. The brothers’ original intent was simply to make a living for themselves and their families by not becoming indebted to anyone, and by establishing themselves in a self-supporting business. In 1853, Henry and Clement’s younger brother, John Mohler Studebaker, known to his family as J.M., decided to strike out for the gold ﬁ elds of the west at 19. He arranged passage and board with a wagon train, through wild and untamed territory between South Bend and California, by trading a new Stude- baker wagon for the fare. Henry and Clement built a sturdy wagon for J.M. to trade for safe passage. The trip across the continent took sev- The Studebaker coach that carried Abraham Lincoln to Ford’s Theater on April 14, 1865. eral months, and during that time, J.M.

He arrived at Placerville, Calif. — then known as “Hangtown” because of its swift method of dealing with outlaws — with 50 cents in his pocket. No sooner had the wagon train arrived at Hang- town when the local blacksmith met the ragtag en- tourage, asking if any of the travelers had experience in wagon making. J.M. was anxious to get to the gold ﬁ elds and make his fortune, but he was taken aside by an older and wiser traveler. The advice he received shaped the course of the rest of his life...and the history of South Bend.

QUALIFIED EXPERIENCED The older gentleman, later identifi ed by J.M. as REASONABLE Dr. Worthem, cautioned him that prospecting in the gold fi elds was a risky and “iffy” business at best, and whereas J.M.’s pockets were nearly empty, the wagon-making job offered a measure of security. J.M. wisely chose to accept the job, but soon discovered what really was needed in Hangtown were wheelbarrows for working the gold fi elds. J.M. was not pleased, but discovered he could make $10 a piece for each wheelbarrow built. He continued working for fi ve years for the Hang- Attorney Michael V.

A legend was born. Today, the history of the Studebaker family, and their wagons and automobiles, can be enjoyed and appreciated at an amazing museum dedicated to preserving their legacy. The Studebaker National Museum is part of a larger campus that also includes the Oliver Mansion, lovingly named Cop- shaholm after the Scottish village, home of the family patriarch, and the South Bend History Museum, which is the second-oldest historical society in Indiana. The new museum campus was opened in 2005 and is dedicated to preserving the history of South Bend and northern Indi- ana. As such, a visit is a must for any seri- ous student of Indiana history.

He bought out his older brother, Henry, and invested his fortune in expanding the business. The company grew and prospered, including more family members in the fi rm. When the Civil War broke out, the Studebaker brothers fulfi lled many orders for the government, creating many specialized wagons for use in the war. In 1870, the fi rm was incorporated as Studebaker Brothers Manufacturing Co. It established its fi rst branch offi ce in St. Joseph, Mo., to supply wagons for pioneers headed west. The company would eventually produce more than 750,000 wagons, plus hundreds of other pieces of specialized horse-drawn equipment, such as fi re wagons, farm wagons and caissons for military use. Besides the production of rugged wagons for the work of hauling goods and materials, many fi ne lux- ury buggies, carriages and sleighs of various styles were built for carrying people in the days before the automobile. Eventually, all fi ve of the Studebaker brothers were involved in the family business. At this time, the Studebaker company was the largest manufacturer of wheeled vehicles in the world. In 1897, the Studebaker brothers began to exper- iment with automobiles. At fi rst, they simply built car bodies for Electric Vehicle Co., which leased cabs THE March 15, 2018 Page 5

The Studebaker National Museum is part of a larger campus of historical attractions. The museum was dedicated as a “fi tting memorial to men and women of our community whose vision, creativity and energy built the products that are today our industrial manufacturing heritage.” I visited the museum and was welcomed by Assis- tant Director Jo McCoy and Archivist Andrew Beck- man, who took me on a personal tour.

For Phase 1, fencing was placed around the perimeter to ensure safety. Friday and Saturday’s work involved removing and saving the roof tiles. Removing the structure, itself, was anticipated this week, and is estimated to take about two weeks to remove all but the south wall facing Lake Shore Drive. That will occur once Indiana gives its OK to remove an abandoned underground tank on the other side of the wall. Depending on weather conditions, it is hoped the project is ﬁ nished by the end of April. Site restoration, such as backﬁ lling and grading, follows the demolition work before grass can be in place. Beach access to Stop 24 will be reopened before the start of this year’s beach season.
