A. F. KATTERJOHN, born August 16, 1858, is one in a family of eleven children born to Ernest and Katie E. (Hoelscher) Katterjohn, the former coming to this country from Germany in 1844 and marrying May 7, 1851, at Evansville, Ind. The subject of this biography was raised by his parents to manhood’s estate, receiving in youth only such advantages for an education as the common schools afforded. In 1874 he went to Evansville, Ind., from Henderson County, Ky., where he remained a number of years thoroughly acquainting himself with all the details of the milling business, which he had decided as his vocation through life. In 1882 he removed to Lynnville, where he has ever since resided, and purchasing the only flouring mills of the place, has fully demonstrated to the surrounding community his ability to produce as good a quality of flour as that of any mill in the county. Mr. Katterjohn is a Republican in politics and one of the county’s most prominent and successful young men. He was married October 19, 1884, to Mary A. Lynn, of this county.
