TRAGEDY BREAKS UP NORFOLK PICNIC PARTY

Parents See Neil A McCurdey Jr., Drowns Following Cramp Seizure

Norfolk, VA., June 26-A picnic party from Norfolk and James Fisheries 
between Ocean View and Chesapeake Beach was interrupted at 7 o’clock this 
morning, when Neil A. McCurdey, Jr., son of a widely known Norfolk druggist 
was drowned.
His father, Neil A. McCurdey, Sr., who is connected with Etheridge’s 
Pharmacy, 1000 Church Street, his mother and other member of the family, saw 
the boy a youth of 18, go down after being seized with cramps.
Frantic efforts were made by the party to rescue him, but the body was 
apparently carried out into the bay and had not been recovered early this 
afternoon.
The McCurdey family, who reside at Diamond Springs, in Norfolk County, went 
to the fishery plant early in the day fishing and bathing. They had been in 
the water only a few minutes when young McCurdey uttered a cry and was seen 
to thrash about in an effort to make shore. Before his father and other men 
in party could get to him, the body disappeared.
