Title	Greene County Courthouse Articles
Subject	Ohio Government Courthouses Time capsules Rites & ceremonies Newspapers
Place	Xenia (Ohio) Jamestown (Ohio) Greene County (Ohio)
Description	These articles document the building of a new courthouse in Greene County, Ohio and the placing of a time capsule in the cornerstone. The newspapers were found in the time capsule in 2001. In the first article, the Xenia Herald reports the decision to have Masons lay the cornerstone and discusses the progress of the new courthouse on February 28, 1901. An article in the Jamestown Journal from March 8, 1901 invites the public to submit materials for inclusion in the time capsule. On March 13, 1901, the Xenia Republican reports on the progress of the courthouse and discusses events surrounding its opening. 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.
