L. Cpl. Kenneth Eugene AUSTIN

(19 Jun 1939 - 4 Oct 1965)

Please understand I'm giving my opinion on this subject. After many hours of conversation with my mother, she finally gave me enough information to put together a logical story of what really happened to my dad in his final days. So here is my version.
No one doubts my father was addicted to sex. My mom refused to meet his needs so he went elsewhere to fulfill those needs. Unfortunately, one of his lady friends fabricated a story about being pregnant. This was totally untrue but he didn't know how to handle it so he killed himself by carbon monoxide. This left me and my 2 sisters to grow up without our dad. A sad but true story.

-- MERGED NOTE ------------

The story goes like this, according to Joyce Johnson and Ken Austin II. Ken was a sexaholic and Joyce refused to give him sex whenever he wanted it so he decided to go get it elsewhere. Eventually, his girlfriend decided to tell him she was pregnant, but this was a total fabrication. He didn't know how to deal with this news so he drove his car out to the state forest and rigged a hose from the tailpipe to a side window and filled the car with carbon monoxide. He was found several days later by a group of women. He was only 26 and left behind 3 young children and his wife. They resided in Milesburg, Centre, PA, USA. Joyce became pregnant to a local preacher who was supposed to be there to comfort her in her time of grief. This was Rev. Lewis A. Crouse and they had a son, Christopher A. Crouse.
