Contents of Time Capsule Badly Damaged by Water, Time, Jackhammer

One hundred and sixteen years after last touched, the contents of the time capsule set into place under the Bell Tower cornerstone was opened and its contents revealed to a waiting parish. What did our founding parishioners and clergy feel was most important for us to know about them? Was there anything of value? What was on their minds?

Apparently they were most focused on the Episcopal Church itself and were perhaps enamored by and proud of being part of not only the larger community, but also the larger church. Here are the items discovered:

• Constitutions and Cannons 1896
• Young Churchman Newspaper
• Meneely Bell Company Pamphlet
• 5th Annual Diocesan Convention Booklet
• Living Church Quarterly Almanac and Calendar for 1900
• Two small prayer books
• Several newspapers
