The history of Trinity Church includes a sad record of strained relationships between Pr. Baker and some in his congregation, causing him to leave in some ere of bad feelings, preaching his last sermon on 30 January 1853 after 25 years of pastoral ministry there. Pr. Baker was heavily involved in creating Woodward Hill Cemetery, Trinity's new burial place in light of their old cemetery right around the church "filling up." And while he left in some degree of negative feeling, he was buried at Woodward Hill, right along the driveway just south of the original chapel building there (now a storage building). Dr. Baker was replaced at Trinity Church by Pr. Gottlieb Frederich Krotel, whose body was also brought back to Lancaster for burial in Woodward Hill, in this case from New York City. Karl E.
