The Ransomville Cemetery was shown on the corner of Curtis Ave and Main St. in the 1914 Sanborn Map for Ransomville. It is to the right of the Methodist Episcopal Church.
Notes from the Niagara County Historian’s Cemetery Book (written in the 1990s) says that the cemetery did not belong to the church and that they did not have any records. Further, that the Town Clerk was also not aware of any records at that time.
Since the 1910s, the Daughters of the American Revolution have been transcribing unpublished records to help preserve them.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.
The DAR conducted a tombstone reading at Ransomville Cemetery between 1933-4. It was published in Volume 67 of the Genealogical Records Committee Reports. Below is a scan of the tombstone reading obtained from the New York State Library.
