Workmen from Kinderknecht Construction Co. removed a sealed copper box from the Old Knights of Pythias hall at 424 First Avenue NE to clear space for a community center parking ramp. A past grand chancellor, Frank Sheppard, opened the box and examined a Pythian History volume, a debt document to American Trust and Savings Bank of Cedar Rapids, and two Cedar Rapids newspapers dated 1911. The papers showed moisture damage and will be moved to the Knights of Pythids hall at 1101 Old Marion Road ME.
