The Old Moravian Cemetery
At Lancaster, Pa.
<emph>From The Lancaster New Era, 1917.</emph>
"Tall sycamores and maples spread their aged boughs above the
graves of the ancient Moravian Cemetery on North Prince Street
near Chestnut. There, wrapped in their dreamless sleep, rest many
dignitaries of Old Lancaster. On the low monuments and pros-
trate slabs appear the names of such old-time worthies as the
Henrys, De Huffs, Graeffs, Weidels, Hobsons, Demuths, Carpen-
ters, Ebermans, and others. But soon this God's acre may be only
a memory.
No more distinguished persons are buried there than the two
Henrys, father and son. Near the west end of the main walk of
the graveyard, running east and west, is the tomb of Col. William
Henry, of Revolutionary fame, who died in the year 1786. Close
to Prince Street, with the open Bible carved upon his monument,
is the grave of Judge John Joeseph Henry, [not finished]
