The brief service in the tower was a fitting prelude to the morning worship and dedication of the Curtis Memorial Bell, which came from Meneely's foundry and bears the inscription Presented to the First Baptist Church, Medford, by Elisha B. Curtis, 1906 In memory of His Father, Asa F. Curtis, His Mother, Achsah L. Curtis, His Sister, Mary Curtis Breed, His Wife, Lucia Leadbetter Curtis. The destruction of the Methodist bell in the preceding year and rebuilding farther away by that society, with a different hour of service in the Mystic Church, suggested the need of a bell in the Baptist tower, and after some consideration of the matter, Mr. Curtis felt, It's up to me to provide the bell. It is safe to say that no bell ever placed on a Medford meeting-house was ever accorded such a reception, both adverse and kindly, as was this.
