telling of John Hirt’s death from pneumonia.

John Hirt was from Maywood and although he is not on any plaques in Hackensack the people of Maywood have always had a close affiliation with the city of Hackensack especially during World War I. We are listing his name with those who died from the Spanish influenza during
World War I. Maywood has always had a strong connection to Hackensack High School over the years and we include his name on our list for that reason.
