Thank you for your response. If you have John E. Gaze's birth as 05 Nov, 1855 that is probably correct. But, his son, John B. Gaze died on 08 May, 1917. Therefore, I'm guessing that John B. Gaze is buried there and not John E. I haven't yet checked all of the available censuses to determine if John E. Gaze was still in Orleans County when he died on 26 Aug 1930 or if he was in Los Angeles, CA. Maybe his young widow couldn't afford a burial site, so the family offered his father's plot?? This is developing into quite the mystery.... ----- Original Message ----- From: Roger Millis To: [email protected] Sent: Wednesday, March 14, 2007 8:59 AM Subject: Re: [NYORLEAN] Medina Tombstone - GAZE I took care of the West Ridgeway cememtery for 20 years and am still on the Board. In my records I find John Gaze born 11-05-1855 and died 05-08-1917 buried next to his wife Mary Lillie Oderkirk Gaze 08-17-1858 died 01-30-1920 both were age 62. They are on lot 35 , John buried in grave 1 and Mary in grave 2. From my records I think there is a grave stone for them. Why this was left out of the on line records I do not know, but they are in the cemtery records. Others buried on that lot are Prosper,1879; Gertie,1887; George, 1864; and John,1851 Hope is some help to you.

My husband's paternal grandfather, John B. Gaze b c1889 is missing. We saw recently when accessing the newspapers on the NY GenWeb Pages for Orleans County that The Medina Tribune's 10 May 1917 edition stated his death at the age of 28 from TB on May 8, 1917. But, his grave is NOT listed with the rest of his family in West Ridgeway Cemetery on the Cemetery List of Orleans County, NY website. Both of his parents and all of his ten siblings are listed there, but no John B. Does anyone know who we would contact to find a complete listing of all of the names interred there? Could there possibly be a pauper's section of the cemetery that isn't listed on the website? The Medina Tribune article stated that his body was brought to Medina after his death at the Buffalo Hospital, but failed to mention that he was survived by a wife and son. One would assume that his burial would probably have been around Medina. Any help at locating his tombstone would be appreciated.
