Wildrick and Pitt families. Milton Armstrong Wildrick and his sister Lillian Frances Wildrick Pitt were children of Nicholas A. Wildrick and Ruth Ann Read. The two siblings share a burial plot in Union brick cemetery which is marked by a large monument labeled "Pitt Wildrick". In the photograph the monument may be seen in the foreground. To the right of it are low individual markers for the graves of Milton and Lillie and their spouses. Only three of the four graves stones are visible. Two rows above the individual stones (and all the way to the left) is the marker for Milton and Lillie's brother John Read Wildrick. The stone laying on the ground to the right of John's stone is that of John, Milton, and Lillie's parents (photo 9-26-05).

Fish, Maud S., wife of Milton A. Wildrick, 1890 - 1967. Maud was the daughter of Moses Fish. As far as I have been able to tell, Maud was probably the last burial in Union Brick Cemetery. There were very few burials in the 1950s (Rachel and Sally Raub, George and Lillie Pitt) and at least two in the 1960s, that of John R. Wildrick—Maud's brother-in-law—in 1961 and of Maud in 1967. There are no stones in the the cemetery that date to the 1970s or later (photo 9-26-05).
