Hackensack Cemetery Sign

Claus B. Geritz Grave Marker

This grave marker, which is at Hackensack Cemetery, located at 289 Hackensack Avenue Hackensack, New Jersey reveals that Claus B. Geritz served in the U.S. Navy during World War I and died on July 2, 1964 at the age of almost 67. 

Claus B. Geritz was not on the October 5, 1918 Honor Roll List, which was in the Evening Record newspaper, but this confirms his connection to Hackensack by being buried within its borders since passing and forevermore.
