A 72-year-old Lockport woman,
Mrs. Lillian Behm, died this
morning (Feb. 6, 1960) in Inter-
Community Memorial Hospital,
Newfane. She was taken there
by the Fire Department First Aid
Squad Friday afternoon after she
was refused admission to Lock
port Memorial Hospital because
the hospital was filled.
The firemen answered a call at
4:10 Friday afternoon when Mrs.
Behm experienced difficulty
breathing in the home of her
daughter. Mrs. WlBwt E&3r, M
Akron St.
When the woman failed to respond
to an inhalator, she was
rushed to the Lockport hospital
and then to the Newfane hospital.
Dr. George H. Barone, chief of
the medical staff at Memorial
Hospital, explained today that

attack and needed an oxygen
tent.
State law prohibits hospitals
from setting up oxygen tents in
corridors, Dr. Barone explained.

contacted but also was unable to
accept Mrs. Behm, Dr. Barone
said. The Lockport hospital then
made arrangements for her admission
at Newfane.
