"Evening Times" Cumberland, Maryland, Thursday 22 June 1939: 
"Three-Year-Old McGreevy Lad Drowned in Potomac-Luke, Md., June 22-John Joseph 
McGreevy, three, son of Mr. and Mrs. Francis X. (Gormley) McGreevy, Fairview 
street, was drowned in the Potomac river near the alcohol plant of the West 
Virginia Pulp and Paper company about 5:15 o'clock yesterday afternoon. Five-
year-old Freddie Lee Kelly, who was with the McGreevy lad told Terrence A. 
Boyle, county investigator, and Dr. Linnie H. Corson, county medical examiner 
at Boal's funeral home at Westernport that the McGreevy lad was wading in the 
river when he slipped and fell. The Kelly boy became frightened and ran and 
told Herbert Biggs, employed at the alcohol plant. George O. Williams, who was 
working in his garden, saw a number of persons going toward the river and 
inquired and after he got there in about three minutes, he rescued the body. 
Dr. Paul R. Wilson and employees of the West Virginia Pulp and Paper, worked 
with two pulmotors for over two hours trying to resuscitate him. Besides his 
parents, he is survived by four sisters: Margaret, Catherine, Anna and Agnes 
McGreevy, all at home."
