2 SONS DROWN WITH FATHERS;
THREE PERISH IN BACK RIVER
- - - - -
Washington Contractor Dives to Succor Sinking Boy, But Both Die in Herring Bay.
- - - - -
South Baltimore Quarry Hole, Herald Harbor Also Claim Victims; Four Baltimoreans.
- - - - -
Merry swimming parties in Baltimore, Back River, Herring Bay and Herald Harbor ended in tragedy late yesterday, when seven persons were drowned.
Four of those who met their deaths in Maryland waters were Baltimoreans. The others were residents of Washington.
Two fathers were drowned with their sons, and all of those who went to watery graves died while members of their families looked on in horror.
BOAT SPILLS THREE.
Three were drowned when a boat capsized in Back river off Triple Union Park. There were:
Mrs. Mary Wortman, twenty-seven, 2040 Ellsworth street.
John Rosenberger, thirty-five, 2020 East Preston street.
George Rosenberger, twelve, son of John Rosenberger.
A youth was drowned while swimming in "Blue Pond," on Cherry Hill, South Baltimore. He was George W. Jones, eighteen, Cherry Hill.
All of the bodies of the Baltimore victims were recovered within a short space of time, with the exception of the boy, George Rosenberger. His body was not found until late last night.
BAY SWALLOWS TWO.
Two of the Washingtonians, a father and son, were drowned off Owings Beach, Herald Bay, twenty miles from Annapolis. There were: Roland Johnson, forty a contractor, 7524 Fourteenth street, Northwest, Washington, D.C., and Frederick Johnson, twenty-one, his son.
The other Washington resident drowned in Maryland was a fourteen-year-old boy. He met his death in Herald Harbor, near Annapolis, shortly after six o'clock. He was Abie Gilman, fourteen, son of Mr. and Mrs. Lewis Gilman, 318 Buchannan street, Northwest, Washington.
Mrs. Wortman was the daughter-in-law of George Wortman, who purchased a shore in Triple Union Park just four months ago. She and her husband with the Rosenberger family were guests of the elder Wortman yesterday.
DIVE FROM BOAT.
The woman, with Rosenberger and his son, were members of a party of about fifteen who were diving from a small rowboat about 200 yards off shore. Several of the party clung to one side of the boat, causing it to upset.
Mrs. Wortman and the father and son disappeared under the water. While efforts were made to rescue them, others aided several members of the party who could not swim. A baby in the party was tossed into the water when the boat turned over. It was rescued by two men in a motorboat.
Mrs. John Williams, 2031 Ellsworth street, was about to sink when she was pulled to shore by James A. Hunt, 2022 Ellsworth street. A number of persons on shore who saw the mishap rushed in motor boats and skiffs to aid in the rescue.
DRAG FOR BODIES.
Patrolmen J. Wesley Hughes, James Lawson, Fred Peters and James W. Guy of the Essex Police Station hurried to the scene to drag for the bodies. Rosenberger and Mrs. Wortman were found immediately.
Excerpts from Sunpaper story on July 18, 1927:
FOUR DROWNED, 3 ARE RESCUED IN 3 ACCIDENTS
3 Die, Woman And Baby Saved As Boat Capsizes In Back River
....Three other victims were drowned at Triple Union Park, a Back river shore about a mile north of the Sparrows Point line, when fifteen persons were clinging to a rowboat which capsized. A man and his wife rescued a woman, while a small baby was placed in a life preserver and taken to shore.
The dead are:
John Rosenberg, 40 years old, 2000 block East Preston street,
George Rosenberg, 12 years old, his son.
Mrs. Mary Worthman, 21 years old, 2000 block Ellsworth street.
All were members of a party of Baltimoreans visiting at the shore owned by George Worthman, father-in-law of the drowned woman.
Woman Is Rescued
Mrs. John Williams, 2000 block Ellsworth street, was rescued by Mr. and Mrs. James A. Hunt, 2000 block Ellsworth street, who brought her to shore while other members of the party were making unsuccessful efforts to find the bodies of the three victims.
A detail of police from Essex recovered the three bodies in nine feet of water.
