Hackensack Cemetery Sign
William P. Rollings Grave Marker

 

This grave marker, which is at Hackensack Cemetery, located at 289 Hackensack Avenue Hackensack, New Jersey, reveals that William P. Rollings served in the U.S. Army during World War I for the State of New Jersey  and died at the age of 80. 

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