Originally published in 1900 |
|
JOHN JOSEPH NEVIN, Judge of the Criminal Courts of Jersey City,
is the son of Patrick Nevin, and was born in Summit, N. J., on the 31st of
August, 1870. After attending private schools he entered St. Peter's
College of Jersey City and was graduated from that institution in the class
of 1889, receiving in July of that year the degree of Bachelor of Arts; a
year later he received the degree of Master of Arts. On leaving college
he was offered the position of clerk to Mayor Cleveland, which he accepted,
and when Mavor Wanser succeeded Mr. Cleveland in office Mr. Nevin was
retained on account of his efficiency, industry, and superior qualifications.
In these capacities Judge Nevin gained a wide reputation and displayed
those broad executive abilities which have since distinguished him in both
public and private affairs. He also engaged in journalism, being the Jersey City correspondent of the New York
Morning Advertiser and also of the
New York Star and Daily Continent during the existence of those papers.
He is now Judge of the Criminal Courts of Jersey City, which office he is
filling with marked ability and universal satisfaction. In 1899 he was appointed a member for Jersey City of the Hudson County Consolidation
Commission, and he is now Secretary of that body. Judge Nevin was married April all, 1595, to Katharine Walsh, of Jersey City, and has two children, Joseph and Edward.
