Century Old Bible Found

ABERDEEN, S.D. (AP) — Officials who opened a church time capsule in South Dakota have found an 1890 Norwegian Bible.

The American News reports that the time capsule had been placed in the cornerstone of the old Bethlehem Lutheran Church in Aberdeen in 1955. It was removed this week because the building is being demolished to make way for a new public library.

The Bible belonged to a man named Knute Carlson. His great-great-niece, Wendy Meyers, says his descendants in Norway will enjoy seeing the Bible.
