    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 Message Board Post: Holford's 1900 History of Grant County, page 62, describes the county's 1876 centennial celebration, mentioning "an oaken box .... to hold relics to be gazed upon again only by those who should be in Lancaster in 1976." Among the objects placed in the box was "a book containing the signatures of many of those present at the celebration." Does anyone know: Are the contents of the box on display somewhere in Grant County? Has the book of signatures been transcribed?
