June 15, 2011 THE VILLADOM TIMES II • Page 15 �������������������������� Wyckoff has long honored those who died in American wars. This year, those streets named after veterans who were killed in action were marked with gold stars. During World War I, the government began to allow families to display blue service stars to show that the family had one or more sons in service. The patriotism of World War I produced some of the most motivated soldiers ever to serve overseas, and when soldiers were killed, the gold star replaced the blue service star on display. The names of those killed in action are also listed on a cenotaph at the Wyckoff Reformed Church at 625 Wyckoff Avenue. Zachary Court is named after Zachary Masker, Wyckoff’s only recorded casualty of World War I. World War II caused the largest number of casualties in the 20th century. Anthony Place is named for Edgar O. Antony. Bohny Drive is named for Alfred W. Bohny. Booth Court is named for A. Sidney Booth. Crankshaw Place is named for Owin F. Crankshaw.
