Nutley Author Anthony Buccino Reflects on Nutley Notable Ruth Bedford
August 20, 2019 at 12:12 AM
NUTLEY, NJ - As news of the passing of Nutley Matriach Ruth Bedford spread through the community, residents immediately shared their memories of her and her philantrophy. Nutley author Anthony Buccio took from his day to share his thoughts on Bedford, as well has a page from his book Nutley Notables.
"Mrs. Ruth Bedford was a sweet soul and treated everyone equally." said Buccino. "She'd share her stories of working for W.T. Grant or open her home for many local fund raisers. While her stately home reflected her wealth, her open heart reflected her love for Nutley and all of its people. I raise a lollipop in her honor." he added.

WW2 Letters Home From The South Pacific by Angelo Buccino
Nutley-Belleville Old Guard, 9 a.m., Friday, June 14, 2019

Hear the whole story of their discovery, the words of a young man far from home, and why they were published in November 2018.
The Old Guard of N.J., Nutley Chapter No. 7, meets weekly on Friday at 9 a.m. at the Frank A. Cocchiola Parks Building, 44 Park Avenue, Nutley, NJ.

Nutley 1918 - First Memorial Day Parade
NUTLEY, NJ -- Mayor Dr. Joseph P. Scarpelli and the Board of Commissioners
announced plans for the Township’s 100th Anniversary Memorial Day Parade. The parade will be held on Monday, May 27,

“Memorial Day is a day we put aside to honor our fallen
heroes and pray that no heroes will ever again have to make the ultimate
sacrifice protecting our nation,” concluded Scarpelli.
More Information

Weather permitting, the Nutley War
Memorials Remembrance Ceremony will start at 7:30 am at the VFW Post 493. Following the Remembrance Ceremony, the

Building at 10:30 am.
The Memorial Day
Parade opening ceremonies and welcome will begin at 11 am at the Park Oval.

Rev. Jill Fenske will offer the prayer at the opening ceremonies and
this year’s Grand Marshall is Edward Joseph Bennett.

Mayor.
HISTORIC WALK IN THE PARK ON MONDAY
Also on Monday May 27th the Nutley Historical Society will
sponsor “A Walk in the Park”. The tour,
led by Nutley Museum director John Simko, begins at 9 a.m. at the Mud Hole
(near the intersection of Passaic Avenue and Vreeland Avenue) and travels along
the Third River.
Simko will discuss
the river’s role in Nutley’s history as a source for early industry, as
inspiration for world-renowned artists, as a symbol of civic pride, as an
important boundary marker, and as a fitting memorial to our war veterans.
Visit the sites of three former mills, tour the
pre-Revolutionary War Van Giesen homestead, find out why the Third River splits
in two, learn about the beginnings of our hundred-year-old Carnegie Library and
even older Town Hall, and walk through one of Nutley’s oldest cemeteries.
“A Walk in the Park” ends at eleven o’clock
inside Nutley’s first brick schoolhouse (now the Nutley Historical Society and
Museum) where refreshments will be served. The museum will be open and
tour-related pieces from our archives will be on display.
“A Walk in the Park” is free, but is limited to 30 people
and requires registration. You can
register for the tour by emailing johnsimko1014@gmail.com or by calling
973-752-8984 and leaving a message with your phone number or e-mail
address. You will receive confirmation

MEMORIAL DAY PARADE ON MONDAY
The Nutley Board of Commissioners will be inviting family members
of soldiers, both past and present, to march in the parade, and is collecting
names of those in our community who are currently serving. These names will be added to an already

displayed on the Nutley Park Oval fence outside of the Town Hall.
Special thanks to the Patriots Club for
placing American Flags on the veteran’s gravestones at the cemeteries in town
and to Nutley High School’s students and faculty for their Wall of Honor which
salutes our fallen heroes.
