Someone recently asked about cornerstones. Our local YWCA located in downtown Columbus is being renovated. An article in today's Columbus Dispatch is about the items found in a metal box taken from the cornerstone of the building. Articles in the box include several Columbus newspapers dated June 2, 1928, a 48 star flag, and a previously unknown history of the YWCA of Columbus from its founding in 1886. The capsule also contained a copy of the will of the woman whose bequest made the original construction possible. When the renovation nears completion, the time capsule will be resealed with some new additions and placed back in the cornerstone.
