Two of his children, Peggy and Joe Katterheinrich, who were found shortly afterward in the Katterheinrich automobile near the Walter Althoff farm west of the Eschmeyer farm, said the car had run out of gasoline as they were enroute home from a New Knoxville Methodist church meeting and that their daddy had started to walk back to New Knoxville for fuel.
