Another chapter in the catastrophic demise of the Zanesville Masonic Temple in Ohio three months ago will be written when the time capsule secreted in the structure will be opened in June.

WHIZ reported last week that the repository, which was installed on St. John Baptist Day 1902, will be opened on June 25.

The building, no longer owned by a Masonic entity but still home to Lodge of Amity 5 and other groups, was destroyed by fire in January.

The revelation of the box’s contents will be the highlight of a dinner at a local college; the event will be a fundraiser to prepare for building a new meeting place for the lodge.
