A short time later Mr. and Mrs,. Studebaker gave most of the money for building St. Paul's Methodist Memorial Episcopal church, the finest church building in South Bend. Mrs. Studebaker gained a national reputation through her work in the Methodist church. She rarely missed a conference of the church.
Mrs. Studebaker was born in Mishawaka. She was the daughter of George Milburn, one of Mishawaka's leading business men. In 1860 she was married to J. W. Harper, who died two years later. The next year she married Clement Studebaker, Sr., who was then establising his business. Several years later the couple built a fine home, Tippecanoe Place, where their three children were born. All of them, George Studebaker, Clement Studebaker,Jr., and Mrs. Charles Arthur Carlisle, survive. A sister, Mrs. John R. Foster, of Merriam, Kas., and a brother, Charles Milburn, of Chattanooga, Tenn., also survive.
