Bevacqua Grave Markers and Gravestone

This grave marker which is at St. Joseph’s Cemetery, located at
179 Hackensack Avenue, Hackensack, New Jersey reveals that
Anthony Bevacqua served in the United States Army during World War I and died at the age of 62.

Anthony Bevacqua was not on the Original Honor Roll listed in
the Evening Record newspaper October 5, 1918,  but this confirms his connection to Hackensack by being buried within its borders since passing and forevermore.
         
Anthony Bevacqua’s grave lies next to what would appear to be his son Anthony John Bevacqua’s military grave marker, since they are also both listed on the gravestone.

Let us never forget the family's sacrifice.
