Mr Nicholas Nasser

Mrs Nicholas Nasser (Nasrallah) (Adele Achem / Hakim), 14 (1), was born in Zahlah (Zahle), Lebanon on 19 March 1898, the daughter of Habib Hakim (2) and his wife Ator Achem (?Rose Gresati) from Zahle, Lebanon. She and her husband Nicholas boarded the Titanic at Cherbourg as second class passengers. To reach their destination New York, they bought ticket number 237736 for £30 1s 5d.

Mrs Nasser survived the sinking, whereas her husband did not. To the Immigration Officer she gave her destination as Cleveland, Ohio, but unknown address. This was given in the Senate's list as 652 Bolivia Road.

Adele Hakim Nasser was newly married to Nicholas Nasser and was pregnant. Her little boy was born on 9 December 1912 but died hours later.

She later remarried to Albert A. Shamaley who was born 15 May 1884 and died in a car accident in August of 1969.

She died in El Paso Texas on 20 January 1970. She was survived by her four children and her sister Mary and brother Richard who had also emigrated to America.

Notes 1. This is the age calculated from the date on the death certificate. Other lists give her age as 18 however, the obituary of 1970 gives her age as 72 so she probably was only 14 on the Titanic. 2. Names are often Anglicised on different lists.

Last night I attended a presentation by Dr. Francis Boustany regarding the history of the Lebanese in Lafayette, LA. He mentioned that Lebanese relatives of his were aboard the Carpathia when it picked up Titanic survivors. I find it interesting that this woman was among them and that she ended up in El Paso.

Please change last name at birth to Achem, unless this person was not intended to be Adele Achem, Titanic survivor, in which case she may be attached to the wrong husband.

Thanks!
