Individual Notes
• On my way to Cornell in summer of 1891, I stopped off at South Bend, Indiana to visit Charlie Carlisle at Tippecanoe, the home of the Studebakers. Found they were at French Lick Springs on a Tally-ho trip but would be back before dinner. I was showed to a bed room to wait. A valet wanted to get out my dress suit, of which I had none...Nothing but the light suit I was traveling in. Anyway when they came everybody was very pleasant & put themselves out to be nice. Charlie Carlisle afterwards visited me in Palo Alto one day.196

Individual Notes
• only daughter of Honorable and Mrs. Clement Studebaker.1503, p 12
• [excerpts] In the later years of Clement’s life and to the end of her own in 1931, Anne took up and expanded the many charitable, philanthropic and religious interests of her father.
She was an early political feminist. She participated as a delegate in the nomination of Calvin Coolidge in 1924 and thereafter devoted endless hours in support of Republican ideals.
Anne died at Carlisle Manor in South Bend of “blood clot of the heart.” The home today is incorporated in a Catholic education charitable complex and thus continues to serve purposes Anne herself must have pondered as she went about the mundane chores of a housewife.197, p 419
