MILL ACCIDENT TAKES LIFE OF EUGENE BAHR
Eugene Bahr, 53, lifelong resident of this vicinity, was killed instantly Tuesday afternoon, in an accident which occurred at the Boise-Cascade mill in Lincoln, where he worked as a maintenance man.
He was the son of the late Mr. and Mrs. David Bahr and, with his family, lived on a farm north of Wilbur. He is survived by his wife, Lorraine Ehlers Bahr, at the home; three daughters, Judy, a student at Washington State University, Denice, a high school student, and Pamela, a grade school student.
There are also one brother and three sisters- Clarence Bahr and Mrs. Enith Gerl, Wilbur; Mrs. Margaret Naff, Davenport; and Mrs. Hulda Tellefson, Spokane.
Mr. Bahr was a veteran of World War II and a member of St. Paul Lutheran church. Funeral arrangements will be announced by Robertson Funeral Home.
An inquest was held Tuesday evening, attended by the coroner, sheriff, mill officials, and safety officials representing the company and the state. It was determined that Mr. Bahr's deathwas purely accidental and was instantaneous.
The accident occurred between shifts when the machines were idle and there were no witnesses. It is presumed that Mr. Bahr was performing routine maintenance chores and was working from acatwalk beneath the carrier where the logs are sawed. Apparently he lost his balance and to prevent a fall he accidently caught hold of a lightning rod connected to the log turner, thus starting the powerful machine.
His body was taken up and badly crushed, and then dropped to the conveyor belt and transferred to the furnace where waste materials are burned. Officials are convinced that his death cameinstantly and was not due to being burned.
People of the entire community extend heartfelt sympathy to the family at this tragic hour.
