Ohio fire department discovers 118-year-old
time capsule. Here's what was inside
The fire department shared the contents of the capsule in a public unveiling, which included: Marion Fire Department badges from the early 1900s, a roster of 1905 city officials, Marion Daily Star newspapers from July of 1905, an 1878 invitation from the Delphos Fire Department for the Northwestern Ohio Volunteer Fireman’s Association Fireman’s Games and more.
The capsule also contained a letter from then-Chief McFarland stating that the cornerstone was set on July 20, 1905, along with firefighters' names.
The capsule's contents will be kept at the Marion County Historical Society until they can be displayed at the new Marion Fire Department, which is being constructed, the department said on Facebook.
