About the Committee

The Victor Village Cemetery is located behind the Methodist Church on East Main Street, in the village of Victor. This historic cemetery is the final resting place for Victor’s early settlers, residents, and veterans of the Revolutionary War, War of 1812, Civil War, and Mexican War. The earliest burial occurred in 1810 and internment continued until 1949.

On June 11, 2007, the Town of Victor formed the Victor Village Cemetery Committee. One week later, on June 18, the Village Board of Trustees also approved the establishment of this committee. The committee was charged with the preservation and restoration of this historic cemetery.

Since the earliest burial, that of William Loofborough, occurred in 1810, on May 22 of 2010, a bicentennial ceremony was held to commemorate 200 years of Victor history.

Bench Dedication at Village Cemetery

On August 16, 2024 Dianne Parks and Bonnie Waters (not present) were honored by the Cemetery Preservation and Restoration Committee for their preservation and restoration efforts at the Village Cemetery. A bench was put in the cemetery in their honor. 

Jack Marren, Supervisor, and Gary Hadden, Mayor, spoke to the long and hard work these two women did to make the Village Cemetery a place of respect and peace to those resting there.
