SOUTH AMBOY-This is from my own research. The cemetery for Sacred Heart Parish in South Amboy is located on Johnsons Lane in the Parlin section of Sayreville. The Sacred Heart Catholic War Veterans Post 578 erected large monuments with the names of the men who died from the parish. The one stone reads: “IN MEMORY OF ALL WHO GAVE THEIR LIVES WHILE SERVING THEIR COUNTRY IN THE TIME OF WAR.” The monuments were dedicated Nov. 11, 2001.
The men were: World War I 1914-1918-Ignatius (Patsy) Olejniciak, Charles Walczar, Frank Lewandowski, Peter Pero, Frank Wieciorkowski, Walter Cichowski, Otto Kushnetski, John Render and Frank Toczak.
