You don't have to do much research around South Bend to learn of Studebaker employees who lived in Walkerton and drove to South Bend every day for their employment.
'Can't help but wonder how many of them worshipped here during the 60 years between 1903 and 1963:
How many of those employees and their children were married here? How many Studebakers lined the streets for those weddings...and, later, funerals?
Gee, it would be nice to have had a video cam running outside all those years and make a composite of the various events in which most, if not a majority, of the cars (and farmer's trucks!) outside were Studebakers. Given the area's demographics, it had to have happened several times. BP
