Wilson Cemetery
(Salisbury Road, Moncton Parish, N.B.)
(contributed by Cleadie Barnett, CG(C))
Situated on the Salisbury Road, opposite the Atlantic
Baptist College, and is now within the City of Moncton boundaries.
The total area would probably be about half an acre. The
College has co-operated with us in keeping the premises
in good condition during the past year (1976).
Prior to 1970 it was a mass of trees, weeds and brambles,
and the grave stones were in a mess. John N. Lutes and J.
Hugh MacCrae started collecting money for improving the
area and eventually the Michael Lutz (1766) Descendants
became interested, and as a result we now have a well cared
for cemetery, plus a memorial stone (not listed on the attached
sheet) in honour of Michael and Katherine Lutz, who first
settled on that particular grant (1927 acres) on or about
1766, and whom we firmly believe to be buried there.
