The year is coming to a close and so is our year long glimpse into our Time Capsule that was found when the old sign was taken down. It's been fun sharing what I found and researching the history.
This month I found a copy of “The Journal and Messenger, The Central National Baptist Paper.” Its dated October 6, 1904. It was a newsletter for the Baptist church.
I looked it up and you can buy old copy's that have been book bound. The newsletter ran from around 1830’s to the mid 1920’s.
