	TIME CAPSULES. A time capsule is a historic cache of goods or information, usually intended as a deliberate method of communication with future people, and to help future archaeologists, anthropologists, or historians. The preservation of holy relics dates back for millennia, but the practice of preparing and preserving a collection of everyday artifacts and messages to the future appears to be a more recent practice. Time capsules are sometimes created and buried during celebrations such as a world's fair, a cornerstone laying for a building, or at other ceremonies. (1)		TIME CAPSULES.

	In 1967 a dented copper box containing artifacts of 1912 was found under the cornerstone of [[ST. ANTHONY'S HOME FOR THE AGED]] which was demolished to make room for a multi-million dollar expansion of [[MERCY MEDICAL CENTER]]. The box's location was known by Robert E. Byrne whose father placed the box under the stone. In the box, Byrne had placed a 1907 dime, a prayer written in purple ink and script of the times, a deteriorating photograph of [[KEANE, James J.\|James J. KEANE]] taken in 1912, religious medals and miniature statues in small metal containers, a list of the important political figures of the times, four local newspapers, and ~~ads~~ and headlines of the time.
