6 Apr 1774:13, 21 (1635)
Newbury-Port, March 9. Last Saturday, being the anniversary
of that horrid massacre, perpetrated in the streets of our
metropolis, by the in human blood-thirsty sons of tyranny on
the fifth of March, 1770, was commenced in this town by
every true son of liberty . . .
The day was ushered in by tolling the bells.---From seven
to ten o'clock the bells ceased--then began again and tolled
until eleven, at which time a great number of people of this
town and of the towns in the vicinity, assembled . . . The
service was introduced by an anthem, and ended by an elegy
composed on the occasion. In the evening the bells tolled
again . . .
