Silage Buries, Suffocates Pierpont Farm Woman, 46
The death of Mrs. Theodore Nahirney, 46, of suffocation in a silo while
doing chores Saturday was ruled accidental by Dr. H. K. Lynne, acting
county coroner.
Sheriff’s deputies and firemen from the East Lakeville volunteer fire
department reconstructed the accident shortly after the ruling by Dr.
Lynne. They said Mrs. Nahirney was apparently knocked unconscious by a
400-pound chunk of ensilage which came loose from the wall of the silo
while she was filling burlap bags to haul to a nearby barn.
When found at 12:30 p.m. by Tom Ozog, 67, a boarder at the farm, Mrs.
Nahirney was covered by about three feet of ensilage. The farm is
located on Turnpike Rd, 1¼ miles north of Rt. 167.
Mr. Ozog called a neighbor, L. P. Housel, and the two men uncovered the
body. East Lakeville firemen arrived on the scene shortly afterward and
administered oxygen from a resuscitator for about 40 minutes. They said
there was no sign of life at the time.
The firemen continued to administer oxygen until the arrival of a
physician at 2:30 p.m. A large crowd of curious spectators, who stood
around in small, hushed groups in a biting cold wind for several hours,
waited expectantly while the doctor climbed the 25 feet into the silo
to examine the victim.
Pronounces Woman Dead
In less than five minutes, the physician climbed down again and
announced the woman was dead. The distraught husband had been
accompanied to the house, (continued on page 2. Unfortunately, I only
had access to page 1).
