Title	Studebaker Paintings
Subject	Business and Labor Daily Life Portrait paintings
Place	Ashland (Ohio) Ashland County (Ohio)
Description	These two paintings document the Studebaker family's connection to Ashland, Ohio. First is a 21.26" x 14.17" (54 x 36 cm) painting of the Studebaker brothers, Henry, Clement, Jacob, Peter and John Moeller (J.M.). A second 26.38" x 20.47" (67 x 52 cm) painting shows the family's homestead in Ashland County. The painting of the homestead is visible in the background of the painting of the Studebaker brothers. John Clement Studebaker, a blacksmith and wagon maker from Lancaster, Pennsylvania, immigrated to Ashland, Ohio in 1836, and worked as a miller. By the 1850s, Studebaker was deep in debt. His generosity towards those in need and failure to collect debts caused him to lose the family farm. In 1851, the Studebakers moved west again, this time to South Bend, Indiana, where John's sons Henry and Clement Studebaker started the Studebaker Manufacturing Company in 1868. By the 1880s they were the largest wagon manufacturers in the world, and in the twentieth century they became one of the few wagon companies to successfully switch to manufacturing automobiles.
