     CHARLES ARTHUR KATTERJOHN.  The entire career of C. A. Katterjohn
has been passed in banking pursuits, and throughout a period of more
than thirty-two years he has been identified with one institution, the
Henderson National Bank.  Entering this house in 1888, in a modest
position, he has worked his way steadily upward, and since 1911 has been
the cashier of this institution, one which has an excellent reputation
in banking circles of the state.
     Mr. Katterjohn was born at Iowa Center, Iowa, February 13, 1870, a
son of Herman R. and Mary Elizabeth (Hoelscher) Katterjohn.  His father
was born in Prussia, Germany, in 1830, a son of William H. and Christina
E. (Schulte) Katterjohn, who came to the United States in 1844 and
settled in Pike County, Indiana, where William H. Katterjohn passed the
rest of his life in agricultural pursuit.  The mother of C. A.
Katterjohn was born in 1835 in Prussia, and was fifteen years of age
when brought by her mother to the United States, settling at Evansville,
Indiana.  Soon after her arrival she met and married Mr. Katterjohn, and
they became the parents of the following children: Emma, Lydia, Rosa,
Katherine, Addie, Charles A., Arthur, Hattie and Lucile (sic), and
several who died in infancy.  Following their marriage Mr. and Mrs.
Katterjohn went to Booneville, Indiana, where the father learned the
trade of miller, and in 1866 came to Henderson, where Herman R.
Katterjohn, with his brothers Ernest and Henry, the latter known as
John, established the Eureka Flour Mill.  Mr. Katterjohn continued to be
identified with this enterprise until his death in 1899, and he became
one of the well-to-do men of his community.  He was not a seeker for
political preferment and cared little for the honors of public life, but
was always a good citizen and an active supporter of worthy movements. 
He and his worthy wife were faithful members of the Methodist Church,
and were held in the highest esteem by the people of their community. 
Mrs. Katterjohn joined her husband in death in 1914, and left behind her
many sorrowing friends to mourn her loss.
     C.A. Katterjohn was born at Iowa Center, Iowa, where his parents
had gone for a temporary visit of six months during an illness of his
father, and he was still an infant when brought to Henderson, where he
was reared and secured his education in the public schools He was
eighteen years of age when he began connection with banking matters as
draft clerk in the Henderson National Bank, an institution to which he
has given his unwavering fidelity and allegiance during all the years
that have followed.  From his first humble position he has made steady
and continued advancement, and in November, 1911, was elected cashier, a
position which he retains at this time.  He is well and widely known in
banking circles and has the unqualified confidence and esteem of his
associates and of the general public which patronizes the bank.  Mr.
Katterjohn is active in local affairs and an ex-president of the
Henderson Rotary Club.  As a fraternalist he is affiliated with the
local lodges of the Knights of Pythias and the Benevolent and Protective
Order of Elks, and his religious connection is with the Methodist
Church.  He has never sought political honors, although he has taken an
interest in public matters, and has served as secretary of the Henderson
City Board of Education for sixteen years.
     In 1912 Mr. Katterjohn was united in marriage with Miss Josephine
Smith, of Henderson, and to this union there have come two children:
Josephine Elizabeth, who was born in 1914; and Margaret Alsie, who was
born in 1918.
