Images 188-206 of 210 is an alphabetical list by letter of surname of those buried in the cemetery
Notes from the compiler states that she completed a reading from all of the legible stones and added information from a previously compiled list from 1973.
Also that the cemetery was declared inactive and closed by the Town of Hartland Board on 23 April 1982.
The list was complied 4 November 1982 by Florence Arnold, Town Historian. Here is a sample page:
One of the items that were microfilmed from the Town of Hartland (and available on FamilySearch) includes a burial list of the Friends Cemetery.
This same list is available within the Orthodox Friends Cemetery folder at the Niagara County Historian’s Office. However, the handwritten notes are similar but different than the copy that was microfilmed and available on FamilySearch.
The following digitized map was found on searchiqs.com. Info Quick Solutions, Inc. (IQS) is a site that the Niagara County Clerk has partnered with to digitize many of their books and maps.
This LeValley Cemetery map was originally found in Book 12 on Page 1146.
What is especially interesting is that the map says “The tiers of lots numbered from 1 to 10 represent the original ground known as the Harrington Cemetery.” That is the first mention I have seen of a cemetery of that name in Niagara County. Will need to conduct some newspaper and map research to look for other mentions of Harrington Cemetery.
One of the items that were microfilmed from the Town of Hartland (and available on FamilySearch) includes a tombstone reading of Hartland Central Cemetery.
One of the items that were microfilmed from the Town of Hartland (and available on FamilySearch) includes a tombstone reading of Carmen Road Cemetery (now known as Stewart Cemetery).

Great care appears to have been taken with putting this list together. Drawing, funeral cards, obituaries, and notes are included throughout including a drawing of showing the differences between old and replacement stones as shown here (image 78 of 210):
One of the items that were microfilmed from the Town of Hartland (and available on FamilySearch) includes a tombstone reading of the Hartland Baptist Church Cemetery (now known as Johnson Creek Baptist Cemetery).
Since the 1910s, the Daughters of the American Revolution have been transcribing unpublished records to help preserve them. They then publish these as part of the Genealogical Record Committee (GRC) Reports.
One of the GRC Reports is a 208-page volume (#317 of the Cemetery, Church, and Town Record Reports) from the DAR Niagara Falls Chapter (of which I am a member) of records that were copied from the Niagara County Historian’s Office.
The report lists the name of the person that was buried, born, died, and the name of the cemetery.
One of the items that were microfilmed from the Town of Hartland (and available on FamilySearch) includes a list of those buried at the LeValley Cemetery.

Within the folder contains a handwritten list that was likely a tombstone reading that is notated that it was donated 4 June 1979 (indicating that the reading was done prior to that).
Included in this folder was also a list of veterans marked with GAR markers:
