J.T. Nicholson, Veteran of Sea, Dies on Ship

Comdr. (USMS) Joseph Thomas Nicholson, 50, of Norfolk, chief engineer on the 
Jason, a ship of the Boland Cornelius Line, died early yesterday aboard the 
ship in New York harbor.
A follower of the sea virtually all his life, Commander Nicholson was 
awarded a Presidential citation for exceptional work aboard the U.S.S. Malta 
in World War I.  The ship's engines broke down 1800 miles at sea, and 
through his efforts they were repaired after two days' work, and the ship 
was brought safely into port.
Commander Nicholson had been with the Boland & Cornelius Line, operating 
between Norfolk and New York, for the past eight years, first as chief 
engineer of the Achilles and then as chief engineer of the Jason.
Commander Nicholson was a native of Hamilton, N.C. and had lived in Norfolk 
for 36 years.  He made his home at 4316 Newport avenue.  He was a member of 
Park Place Baptist Church, Ruth Lodge 89, A.F. & A.M., Scottish Rite Masons 
Woodmen of the World.
Surviving are his wife, Mrs. Annie D. Nicholson, of Norfolk; a son, A.S. 
Nicholson, of Norfolk and a sister, Mrs. Lillie Walker, of Rocky Mount, N.C.
The body will be brought to the Hollomon-Brown Funeral Home for funeral 
services and burial in Norfolk.
