There Is no doubt whatever about a cornerstone having been placed In the foundation, as the records of the church make the statement that it was laid in 1858 with ecclesiastical and Masonic ceremonies. There are several persons living now who were present at the ceremonies, but there is a difference of opinion among them as to the location of the stone. Two of the corners, one at the front and one at the rear of the structure, have been inspected, without, success. A more thorough search will probably be made, and the flies of the Gazette, now in the Historical Society's possession at Wilkesbarre, will be inspected, In the,hope that the reiDort of the cornerstone laying may mention the exact location of the stone.
