When the village of Rochesterville was laid out, there was a half acre plot on what is now S. Plymouth Avenue that was set aside for burials. With rapid expansion of the village, this plot was deemed both too small and too close to the center of the village and a new three and one-half acre plot was created on Buffalo Street (now W. Main St.) in September of 1821. This plot was known as the West Cemetery, as there was also an East Cemetery on the east side of the Genesee River. The West Cemetery was also referred to as the Buffalo Street Cemetery and Western Cemetery but in the time of its use, most people would have known it as West Cemetery.
Of the 579 plots in West Cemetery, 570 were sold. In 1837 as the cemetery was getting full, the City of Rochester organized Mt. Hope Cemetery on 54 acres south of the City. The first burial in Mt. Hope was in Aug. 1838 and after that time, plots were no longer sold in West Cemetery, but burials could still be made on family owned plots. As far as can be ascertained, the last burial in West Cemetery was in August 1848. Even before that time, the cemetery was suffering from neglect. In November 1844, it was reported that the fence around the cemetery was broken and that cattle were grazing in the cemetery. Reports of animals grazing in the cemetery continued for many years. Most of the three and one-half acres set aside was still vacant as the cemetery was only in the western part of the lot. Then in 1851, the entire lot was sold to the new Rochester City Hospital on the stipulation that they either fence in the cemetery, or if they wanted to build on that part of the lot, they must find a suitable relocation for the remains. At that time, the Rochester City Surveyor made a map of the cemetery with the names of the lot owners on it. A search has been made for that map but it could not be found. It wasn't until the latter half of 1859 that the remains were moved. There were probably about 1000 persons that were moved from West Cemetery to Mt. Hope. Most were moved to family owned plots and the remainder were put into a section along Indian Trail Road in the west side of Mt. Hope Cemetery.
Building began on Rochester City Hospital in 1862. During the building of a Hospital addition in March of 1906, workmen discovered two large boxes buried in the eastern lawn. One box contained 37 skeletons all neatly arranged in a row and the other contained 71 skeletons. These bones were the remains of persons that were removed from the cemetery on Plymouth Avenue. These large boxes were re-interred in Mt. Hope Cemetery. Rochester City Hospital was knocked down in the 1960's and the lot now contains an apartment complex. Included in this compilation of records from a manuscript showing lot owners in the cemetery. In some cases both the lot number in West Cemetery and the number of the plot the person was moved to in Mt. Hope. The compilation of burials in West Cemetery came from many sources. A visit to the plot in Mt. Hope where some of the remains are now buried was made at three different times to read the remaining legible stones. These are marked with a plus sign within brackets [+]. Also, the records of Mt. Hope Cemetery contain burials in West Cemetery for the period 1837 - 1850. The Mt. Hope records have name, date of burial, age, cause of death and residence (usually a street in Rochester). Some of these records even had the plot number in which the person was buried. Finally added to this was some information from the death notices in the Rochester newspapers.
