10. Lancaster Moravian
Graveyard (former site)
Located on
the east side of Prince Street, north of Marion
Alley.
History:
By 1746 this
graveyard was established in association with the former
site of the Lancaster Moravian Church at the southwest
corner of West Orange and Market Streets (also called St.
Andrew's Moravian Church). In 1916/1917 the graveyard was
removed and remains were placed in Greenwood Cemetery. A
memorial monument was erected at the cemetery's former
location. Today the site is occupied by a Us. Post Office.
- Earliest recorded
burial - 1748.

Transcriptions:
Transcriptions were not recorded before the
destruction of this cemetery. William F. Worner
reconstructed who was burial there through "Plan of Burying
Ground, 1836", Moravian Archives, Bethlehem, and the
lancaster Moravian Church's Burial Book.
- 1941- Willaim F.
Worner, vol.7, p.214.
