He recalled that Aug. 17 day when he, his wife, Sheila, 32, and two children, Cyd, 14, and Stuart, 13, were driving from Poplar Grove on Streit road, which was unfamiliar to them. He reached the intersection with Rt. 23 and thought it was a T-junction because of corn on the southwest corner blocking the view. When Cato realized it was an intersection, he braked but the car skidded on loose gravel and his car was struck by a semi-truck. Mrs. Cato and the two children were killed. Gerald Lee Powell, 22, his brother, Donald E. Powell, 25. Ralph J. Henning, 21, and Charles T.
