A time capsule buried under the First Lutheran Church of Oklahoma City was finally opened after one hundred years and turned out to be full of awesome goodies!
Buried in a copper chest, the items were put in so carefully that when the capsule was opened, the contents were in perfect condition! Included in the haul were souvenirs of 1913 including a newspaper from the day the capsule was buried (April 21, 1913), a pair of women’s shoes that were still bright and shiney, a woman’s dress, a telephone, a pen used by Prsident William McKinley, a camera and a flag.
The most interesting and exciting item buried was a photograph record which featured the voices of the citizens from 1913!
The idea for the time capsule came from a woman named Virginia Sohlberg who included a book of family photographs and poetry in the capsule. Her great granddaughter, Virginia Eason Weinmann was present for the opening and was touched by the family find!
