The pas- tor of this church, in 1794, was Cyriacus Spangenberg, a Hes- sian, who had come to America with the British army and had in some way obtained ordination as a minister of the Reformed church. His true character becoming known, the Berlin con- gregation called a meeting to decide upon measures for remov- ing him. Just before a vote was taken Elder Glessner arose and in a few words expressed the opinion that the best interests of the church called for a change of minister. At this Spangen- berg, who was present, drew a dirk from his clothing, rushed upon the elder, and stabbed him to the heart. Upon trial for this murder he was convicted, and on April 11, 1795, was ex- ecuted at the jail in Bedford.
