Cobleskill - Today the First Baptist Church of Cobleskill opened the time capsule located in the cornerstone of their building that was placed there in 1887, the time capsule needed to be opened as repair work to the foundation walls will soon begin. Terry Hughes, Peter Lindemann, and other church members along with the Cobleskill Historical Society were at today ’ s event. After a little persuasion the time capsule revealed what was put inside it 137 years ago. SOme of the items inside the sealed box was a bible, notes from the event on Sept 15th, 1887, two local newspapers from the area dated September 15th, 1887 , and five Indian Head pennies dated 1887. The church back then was part of the Worster Baptist Church Association, which consisted of eleven churches in the area.
