Stauffer Graveyard
Sporting Hill, Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, USA
The stones are in a concrete base along the property line between two farms. They are reportedly from two separate graveyards that once existed in the area, the Rohrer and Stauffer graveyards. Many of the Rohrer stones were moved to Erisman Mennonite Cemetery.
In 1983, Carl K. Metzler wrote to the Lancaster Mennonite Historical Society to say that sometime during the 1950s, he had helped his father remove the stones from this deteriorating graveyard and preserve them in this manner. The site is the same as the original graveyard.
