One can speculate that this bell and the bricks that form its pedestal are from the 1907 church. The bell is identified as being from the "National Bell Foundry Co. Cin. O." A 1978 Texas Historical Marker provides some church background:
On Dec. 25, 1894, State Evangelist the Rev. Frank Tribune organized this Baptist church with five members: Ella and Lee Brooks, Katie Patterson, Laura Purvis, and Josephine Wells. With help from the Rev. Dr. A.R. Griggs, the members built a frame structure in 1907 at the corner of Louisiana and Rosedale. In 1915 the present site was acquired and a tabernacle erected. This brick church building was begun in 1919 under the Rev. M.K. Curry. The church debt was paid during the Rev. A.W. Pryor's pastorate, 1924-1949. While the Rev. S.T. Alexander was pastor, 1949-1968, an education building was added.
