On February 28, 1904, the first memorial window installed at Christ Church was the Resurrection window above the high altar. The Resurrection window was created at the Tiffany studio and designed by Frederick Wilson. The window was dedicated to the memory of Anita Ludlam DeBost, a popular young woman whose death from typhoid fever in July, 1901 — on the eve of a trip to Paris to buy her wedding outfit — stunned and saddened the New Brighton community. Choirboys unveiled the window; Dr. Crowder (the Rector) read aloud its inscription: "I am the Resurrection and the Life/To the Glory of God and in memory of Anna Ludlam DeBost, 1877 - 1901/Blessed are the Pure in Heart, for they shall see God."

When this window was installed, the reredos shown in the bottom of the picture was not yet in place (there was a much simpler and smaller wainscoting). The French Limestone reredos was designed by Congdon and first used at Easter, 1908. It partially covers the bottom of the window (you can't read the inscription without some difficulty).
