On a visit to Green-Wood cemetery, BrooklynNY [MW] on Nov 6, 1998 looking for McKee’s, found in the cemetery computer John Y. Van Wicklen at section 181 lot 12826.When I went to that lot, it turned out to be a MILLER plot.The computer lists John Y. bur. 30 July 1918;Henrietta K. Van Wicklen (MILLER) bur.16 Aug 1948;aF(female) child of Helen N. Van Wicklen bur. 27 Dec 1914, Lois Van Wicklen bur 7 Apr, 1917 (possibly a daughter of John Y.).At another lot #15970 in section 157, is listed a Teresa H. Van Wicklen, but prob not related.

There is a main headstone in lot 12826 which reads (front) “HENRY MILLER, BORN SEPT. 15, 1819, DIED JULY 2, 1896 - KATHERINE MILLER, BORN JAN.11,1822, DIED AUG. 3,1909”, probable parents of Henrietta Kate;

on the side of the main headstone “MARTIN MILLER, BORN AUG 12TH 1847, DIED JUNE 10TH 1851”,possible sibling to Henrietta; __, MARGARET SAMPSON, BORN DEC. 24th 1824, DIED JUNE 10th 1861”possible Aunt to Katherine orinlaw.

and below “JOHN Y. VAN WICKLEN 1815-1918”.To the left front there is a “shield” shaped stone about 12” x 12” in the ground inscribed “HENRY MILLER”, possibly Henrietta’s father? [must get dates on].

To the front right a small stone inscribed “AT REST” and directly to the right a stone which appears to be the monument base, the stone itself missing.To the rear of the main headstone is a staked medallion of “The Daughters of the American Revolution”.
