The Weaver Family Cemetery was established in an existing cemetery of the German Evangelist Protestant United Church of Chippawa. Twelve monuments remain in the older church section that was in use from 1860 and 1938. While in use until 1938, only two burials occurred in the church area after 1900. The use of the church cemetery was in decline in the late 1800s and the first Weavers were buried on the site in 1873. The cemetery continues to be used by them as well as by Willicks and Wingers who married into the Weaver family. Weavers are not found in area cemeteries prior to their use of this cemetery. George and Catharine Weaver are listed in the 1851 Willoughby Census as being born in France, 209 so it is possible that the first burial in 1873 was the first member of the family to die in the area. The Weaver family and German Evangelist Protestants are enclosed in the same fenced area but are separated by an open grassy area with no monuments. Although it is unclear whether the Weavers were members of this particular parish, census records indicate they were members of Lutheran, Reformed, Evangelical, and Presbyterian Churches. A city of Niagara Falls sign erected on the site names the cemetery as the Weaver Family Cemetery and includes the history of both groups who used it and states that in 1993, the Weaver family petitioned to become owners of the cemetery.
