This is Rev. Charles Packard, who was the first minister of the Evangelical Congregational Church in Lancaster Center. Also trained as a lawyer, he served the congregation from 1840 to 1854. Considerations regarding his children's education caused him to leave Lancaster. As he was held in high esteem by his congregation, they requested that his remains be returned to Lancaster for burial when he passed away. The family, however, denied the request.
