Welsh, Magraw, Frazer, Dohnert and Espy, but, like many.other resolutions passed in conventions, it was never done. A monument, suitably inscribed, covers his grave in the Charles Evans Cemetery, he being the first of Trinity's pastors who died and was buried at Reading. CHAPTER XII. 1829-1841. 1Re. Jacob /nMller, 3D. 3D. When it became known, in 1828, that Dr. Muhlenberg had tendered his resignation as pastor of Trinity Church, many names were suggested for the place he so long occupied. Among these were some of the most prominent ministers of the Lutheran Church in this country, residing in New York and Maryland, as well as in Pennsylvania. But the man upon whom most eyes were fixed was Rev. Jacob Miller, pastor of the churches in and around Falkner Swamp, in Montgomery county, and president of the Ministerium. When the position was first offered to him, he declined it, preferring to remain in the field he had so long served, and which included the Goshenhoppen congregation, in which he had been reared. Extended correspondence between him and Rev. Dr. Muhlenberg followed, in which Reading was aided by Mr. Miller's wife, who was desirous he should move to Reading, and he finally consented to come, provided Dr. Muhlenberg would continue as pastor until the following May, as he was unwilling to make the change before that date. Dr. Muhlenberg consented to this, and a formal call was written, dated January 15,1829, and sent to him.

Book Description
Excerpt from The History of Trinity Lutheran Church, Reading, Pa On Trinity Sunday of this year, 1894, Trinity Lutheran congregation of Reading, Pa., celebrates the one hundredth anniversary of the completion and consecration of its venerable church edifice. Much already has been done in preparation for that celebration. The magnificent Memorial Chapel, erected in 1891-92 by William A. Arnold and Samuel H. Kutz, is a memorial not only of their parents but also of this event. This was followed by a complete renovation of the church itself by the congregation, including the rebuilding of the steeple, new memorial windows, altar, lectern and other articles of church furniture, a new gallery front, and general improvements. For some time I have thought the best memorial, and possibly the most useful and enduring of all, would be the writing and publication of a history of the congregation. The present building is a century old, but the congregation's history goes back to 1751. It is, therefore, one of the oldest, as well as one of the largest and most important of the Lutheran congregations in America. With the exception of several newspaper articles, written by the late H. H. Muhlenberg, M. D., and published in the Missionary in 1857-58, its history has never been written. When I began the search four months ago for material for this history, I expected to find a very limited supply, but as the search proceeded, I was surprised and delighted to find how abundant it was.
