Title
Time capsule search 2000-1
Description
This series of photos is called "Looking for the Time Capsule." Jim Clegg was responsible for a project that listed the names of all the Civil War soldiers that lost their lives in that war. Before the names were installed around the base of the Civil War Soldier Monument in the Square a group of history buffs tried to locate the time capsule that had reputedly been put under the statue when it was installed in 1909. This series of photos (six photos are scanned with an additional six not scanned but stored behind these photos in the sleeves) document the search. In the first photo, the wooden frame has already been erected around the base of the statue for support and to outline the area where the granite stones with the names will be placed. In the second photo, Jim Clegg is facing the camera. In the third photo, three men examine the area under the statue, including Tony Zoia on the right. The fourth photo shows the bystanders: unknown, Al Wilson, city engineer, Eileen Millard, Woodstock Independent reporter, Jim Clegg's back, Tim Clifton, city manager, and an unknown newspaper photographer.The last photo shows the empty indentation where the time capsule (probably?) had been located but there is no way to really know.
