Wasteland Methodist Episcopal Church Cemetery
Christiana, Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, USA
Left to return to nature, it was visited in 1899 by William Ayres, who described in his diary, "... on down past old Wasteland Church and where my mother and Grandfather Ayres are buried and my sister Caroline. The walls of the old church are standing but it is a fearful looking place."
Albert H. Gerberich visited in the mid-twentieth century and recorded the only two graves that were then readable and noted in his Gravestone Inscriptions, "These stones alone remain of what was once a considerable burying-ground. The site of the place has been almost obliterated by nature, but is marked by a clump of tall pines. A few fragments of the old wall are still standing."
