Warner Cemetery

"The Warner family cemetery is located on the west side of Warner Road north of Columbia Ave.
It was located on land now included in the
Warner Estates Development".

"The developers have been required by the Village of Depew, which owns the cemetery land, not to build upon the cemetery site, and to forbid by an article in the deed, any building upon the site by the owner of the lot within the cemetery lies.

However,the site will be graded to suit the rest of the lot and its identity as a cemetery forever lost.
All faces of the gravestones have vanished and no written record has been located."

The Warners were related to the Sturms and their farm was apparently taken from that
originally acquired by the Sturms sometime between 1810 and 1840."
