Regarding The Bolognese Brothers. According to government records, Ralph and Laura Bolognese were Italian immigrants; they raised their five children at 585 Main Street in Medford, about a mile southeast of this memorial (as the crow flies). Brothers Domenic (born in 1924 and apparently nicknamed "Bobo") and Anthony (born in 1926, and appearing in some records as Antonio) were their fourth and fifth children. Domenic died in Medford in 1995 at age 71. Anthony was 90 years old when he died in 2016 in Medford.
