Title	Ohio Soldiers' and Sailors' Home Ex-Pupil's Department Article
Subject	Military Ohio Education Arts and Entertainment Civil War Time capsules Orphans Courthouses Veterans
Place	Xenia (Ohio) Greene County (Ohio)
Description	This article, titled the "Ex-Pupil's Department" includes news on former students at the Ohio Soldiers' and Sailors' Orphans' Home in Xenia, Ohio, which was established in 1869 to care for the children of veterans of the Civil War. The school, cottages, and other buildings were built just south of Xenia by Cleveland architect Levi Scofield. The home closed in 1995. Many students remembered their time at the home fondly, as evidenced by this article in the school newspaper. The Home Weekly is eight pages and measures 13" x 20.5" (33 x 52.07 cm). The article was included in the time capsule that was placed in the cornerstone of the Greene County Courthouse in 1901. In January 1901, the building commission overseeing the building of the new Greene County Courthouse asked the Masons to take charge of ceremonies to commemorate the laying of the cornerstone. A "deposits committee" was formed to collect the items to be buried in a small copper box under the cornerstone during the ceremonies on March 15, 1901. The box remained buried until February of 2001, when it was recovered and opened for the centennial ceremonies on March 15, 2001.
