HISTORY OF THE TOWN OF MEDFORD, Middlesex County, Massachusetts, FROM ITS FIRST SETTLEMENT, IN 1630, TO THE PRESENT TIME, 1855. (ed. Charles Brooks), Chapter 6: ecclesiastical history. (search)
Mr. Osgood preached an appropriate sermon. Thus died a clergyman and pastor who had preached in all the meeting-houses which had been built in Medford, from the first settlement of the town to the year 1824! He kept no record of deaths. He baptized 1,037 persons; married 220 couple; and admitted to the church 323 communicants. Some further light may be shed on the character of Mr. Turell by a few extracts from his wills. One will is dated Oct. 8, 1758; another, in 1762; and a third, in 1764. He shows sound judgment, kind affections, and Christian justice, in his bequests. His dwelling-house, which is now owned and occupied by Jonathan Porter, Esq., he gave to the church in Medford, for the use of the ministry for ever. He gave his largest silver tankard, and a silver spoon, which has a lion's head engraved on it, to the church in Medford. He gave to Madam Elizabeth Royal, and Peter Chardon, Esq., each a mourning ring. I give to Mrs. Lucy Tufts her aunt Turell's picture.

When the law freed all the slaves, many in Medford chose to remain with their masters; and they were faithful unto death. List of slaves, and their owners' names. Worcester,owned byRev. E. Turell. PompeyDr climate, poor food, scanty clothing, necessary exposure, hard work, unskilful physicians, may, in some cases, have caused desolating disease to do its rapid work of death; but, as a general fact, health prevailed through the first fifty years. 1764: With reference to the prevalence of smallpox in Medford, we find the following vote: That a fence and gate be erected across the main country road, and a smokehouse also erected near Medford great bridge, and another smokehouse at the West End, a
