from handling it.
Quick Thinking Perry Boys
Might Have Saved A Life
BY MAXINE THOMPSON
Four year old Laurie Loh
meyer was silting on the
brick curbing around the en
trance to the crawl space
under her house when Justin
and Stephen Mitchell, her
seven and nine year old
neighbors' in Hermitage sub
division just outside Perry
on Highway 341 south,
walked through the yard and
looked behind her.
One of them quickly led
the little girl away while the
other carried her small black
dog to safely. Then one of
them called to Mrs. William
Lohmeyer through her kit
chen door and told her there
was a copperhead moccasin
in the enclosure where Lau
rie had been playing.
Later Mrs. Lohmeyer des
cribed her own actions as
“very excitable" as she grab
bed a gun and ran outside
with the idea of shooting the
reptile, one of the most poi
sonous in the United States.
“But it looked so narrow
I just knew I’d never be
able to shoot straight enough
to kill it.” she said.
That was when the boys
went into action. They sug
gested that shooting would
not be the best way to kill
it, that chopping it up with
a shovel would be better.
When she agreed, Stephen
and Justin moved a ladder
that was in the way, then
one of them picked up a
shovel and dispatched the
snake without turning a hair.
“Their absolute calmness
about the whole thing was
so amazing,” said Mrs. Lob
meyer, who also said that
she felt the boys quite pos
sibly saved Laurie’s life.
Fortunately her sixteen
month old daughter Janet
was playing in the house in
stead of in the yard with
Laurie as she often did.

ells moved to Perry from Or

Besides Justin and Stephen,
they have four other chil

Miriam, 9; Vivian, 5; and
Jim, 3.
The Mitchell boys, who
are also enjoying country
life, have been accustomed
to roaming the area catch
ing harmless snakes. Al
though they realized that
the copperhead moccasin is
poisonous, they did not real
ize that when country land
is cleared for subdivision
building the copperheads
and rattlesnakes, and in
creek areas the cottonmouth
or water moccasin, frequent
ly invade the yards of their
former haunts. The boys will
be looking very carefully at
any snake they consider
catching in the future.
