Virginian-Pilot March 22, 1906
The drowned body of Peter Dobie, Scotchman, 45 years old, who disappeared from the 
city three weeks ago, was found floating in the middle of the river yesterday 
afternoon. A ferry steamer coming across narrowly missed striking the corpse.
Dobie was a sailmaker and had been employed by the J. P. Hurst company. The body 
was towed to Roper's slip and, when the clothing was examined, a bottle of whisky 
was found. The body was removed to the morgue. It is probable that the fellow 
workmen of Dobie will have it decently buried.
Dobie is supposed to have fallen overboard while under the influence of liquor. He 
boarded at Brown’s restaurant on Campbell's wharf and had a room in lower Church 
street.
