In 1717 the inhabitants of the North Reading Parish voted "to settle a minister amongst them”. Having a resident minister enabled the townspeople to establish a separate church from Reading, sparing them a difficult journey by horse and carriage to Reading each Sunday for church services. Reverend Daniel Putnam, a graduate of Harvard, became the first pastor of the North Parish at the age of twenty-three and served up to the time of his death on June 20, 1759. He was succeeded by Reverend Eliab Stone, also a graduate of Harvard, who faithfully served the church for almost 65 years.
