Norfolk Landmark November 10, 1896
Alvin E. Ellis, of Cleveland, O., and a sailor aboard the schooner Lucy Wheatly, 
fell overboard and was drowned off Lambert's Point yesterday morning. The schooner 
was being towed up the harbor and Ellis was engaged in putting a step on the 
spanker-boom when the accident occurred. As soon as it was discovered that there 
was a man overboard, the vessel was put back, but the unfortunate man never came 
to the surface after having once gone down and efforts to rescue him or to recover 
the body were in vain.
