Summary of a longer article: On July 20, 1902, Mr. Schouler, his wife, children and a party of their friends were sailing the Schouler's sloop yacht, the 'Olive'. They had reached inside the Largaretto lighthouse, and made anchorage in the lee of Fort McHenry, when a storm came from out of the southwest. The storm, with winds far stronger than anticipated, dragged the 'Olive from her anchors, blew her out into the bay, and capsized the yacht. Mrs. Schouler, and their three children were trapped in the cabin, and drowned, while Mr. Schouler was trapped by the boom, and his friends were washed overboard into the bay.
"The Rescue. In a boat belonging to the vessel and another belonging to the works, two rescuing parties started in the face of the seas that were sweeping past the point. David Neal, watchman at the fertilizer works, and William Sinscomb, manned one boat, and Joseph Williams and W. L. Osendorff were willing hands at the oars of the other. They succeeded in reaching the Olive in time to take off Mr. and Mrs. Cooper, Mr. Schouler, and Messrs Hulsman and the Smiths. Then began the work of towing the capsized boat to the side of the schooner Hunt, which afforded smooth water." ...the Coroner and police "heard the statements of all those who were on the Olive and summoned a jury of inquest, which met at the Canton Police Station last night and decided on a verdict of accidental drowning."
David Neal is buried in Voshell Memorial Gardens, next to his wife and daughter. There is no date of death on his stone. His death was not in Balto City or MD Counties Death Index from 1920-1958. No newspaper notice found as yet. Last entry in the Baltimore City Directories was 1922.
