Wildwood Cemetery
This area belongs to the Moorheads. Frances and Lucien built the house my mother has lived in for 48 years. They were the only owners other than my mother. Lucian died in in 1940 and his wife lived alone for 21 years before she died. I only find two stones with the Brockway name on them. One is here. Olive Brockway was married to Robert Moorehead at a time when Brockway was still Brockwayville. One of the Moorehead wives was born in Camus, Ireland. Judging by the size and style of the headstones, the family must have held some prominence in the area at some point.
