Re: Wilson Cemetery:

“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.
