Living Biographies
by Andrew Kay
In 1949 and 1950, Reverend Edwin Andrew Katterhenry (1900-1963), a minister and a native of New Knoxville, wrote the “Living Biographies” feature for the St. Marys Evening Leader under the pen name of Andrew Kay. These articles consisted of interviews with aging citizens, many from New Knoxville and St. Marys, relating their experiences from their younger days. After Rev. Katterhenry passed away in 1963, his widow, Florence Katterhenry returned to New Knoxville to live out the remainder of her years until 1982. For those of us who are grandparents today, we remember her as “Mrs. K”. In the final “Living Biographies” article Andrew Kay wrote about himself, thus revealing his identity to the general public.
