    2. This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/lEC.2ACE/477.2 Message Board Post: In late August, Grant County celebrated Nelson Dewey Days. The article in the newspaper states: "Mimicking his lauded predecessor, Judge George Clementson, who invoked imaginings of the future in the crowd of thousands that gathered to witness the laying of the red brick cornerstone of the courthouse 100 years ago by immuring a time capsule in its confines, Judge George Curry reported that he too will seal away a record of the courthouse's centennial celebration, not to be opened for a century. When Curry seals his capsule, there will be three in the courthouse; one sealed inside the cornerstone, to be opened when the courthouse falls down; another in the basement sealed in 1976, to be opened in 2076; and Curry's to be opened in 2102." Might the one that is sealed in the cornerstone be the one you are talking about? There is no further mention in the article about other Centennial Boxes.
