restore studebaker Cemetery and genealogy

   The remains of over 100 decendants of the Studebaker family and The Long Family are in this family cemetery, including Peter, Heinrick and Clement Studebacker. We are researching the information to match and add headstones to all family members, as part of our membership program.

"There is a romantic, nostalgic, pleasantly melancholy feeling to old cemeteries that is hard to define but easy to experience. Perhaps it is because we can feel the direct link to our past that no history book, no movie, no historical fantasy can ever convey. These stones and these unkempt grounds are the hard evidence of lives that came before us. Once, these people lived and breathed, loved, worked, fought, hoped and despaired, and experienced their triumphs and failures just as we do today.  And although we seldom care to acknowledge it we will enevitably go where they have gone."

We are in the process of restoring the 270 year old Bakers Lookout cemetary.  The two headstones represent the remains of two ancestors and family of Peter Studebaker buried in Bakers Lookout family cemetery.  We are compiling a complete list of all those who are buried in this cemetery.  To put a name to all those speaking to be remembered as in the quote above.
