               NORFOLK ANTIQUE FURNITURE DEALER DIES IN NEW YORK

    Nicholas Ferlazzo Succumbs At Home of His Daughter; Ill for Several Months

Nicholas Ferlazzo, vice president and senior member of the firm of Ferlazzo 
Bros., died yesterday afternoon at the home of his son-in-law and daughter, Dr. 
and Mrs. Anthony Colletti, in New York City. He had been in ill health for a 
number of months.
He was born 53 years ago in Gioiosa Marea, Messina, Italy, and came to the 
United States in his youth. He established himself in the antique furniture 
business in Norfolk more than 28 years ago. He had studied wood-carving and 
cabinet making from his early boyhood and was considered among the finest 
artists in that line. 
With his appreciation of the beautiful art he brought with him from Italy a fine 
sense of citizenship. He took a leading part in the Americanization of many 
people from his homeland, cherishing high ideals in business, government and 
human relationships.
He was one of the charter members of Roma Lodge, Sons of Italy, and was Grand 
Venable of the Italian Lodges of Virginia for many years. Mr. Ferlazzo also was 
a member of Sacred Heart Catholic Church.
Surviving him, besides his daughter, are five sons, Louis Ferlazzo, of 
Greensboro, N.C.; Anthony Ferlazzo and Emmanuel Ferlazzo, of Norfolk and 
Frederick Ferlazzo and Julius Ferlazzo, students at the University of Richmond; 
three brothers, Vincent Ferlazzo, associated with him in the antique business 
here; Anthony Ferlazzo, of New York and Peppino Ferlazzo, of Italy and two 
grandchildren,
The body will be brought to Norfolk for funeral services and burial.
