From the October 9, 2017, Genesee County (NY) Daily News "Group honors War of 1812 veteran with new marker in East Pembroke" Jim Krenick.
Christine Holley was working on her Daughters of the American Revolution credentials and while doing so, found the name Hiram Simpson.
He married his wife Nancy in June 1812, but no one knew where he was buried, but some graves at the back of Hillside Cemetery were relocated to another cemetery. The VA responded to a request by Holley and the National Society of the United States Daughters of the War of 1812 Niagara chapter. The VA gave a new headstone.
