Missouri city misplaces 1959 time capsule
Shirley Needy, the Overland Historical Society vice president, said the search was hindered by a lack of a plaque or stone to identify where the capsule was buried five decades ago, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reported.
"I guess things where different in '59," Needy said.
An attempt to gather clues about the capsule's location through a notice in the Localite Shopper community newspaper proved fruitless, Needy added.
The capsule was to have been opened Saturday as part of the city's 70th anniversary celebration, but even a photograph of the burial ceremony failed to pinpoint its hiding spot.
"I've looked at this picture till I'm blue in the face," Chuck Boone, retired assistant public works director, told the Post-Dispatch.

capsuls are bogus. The lack of a marker
implies that the capsul was either distroyed
or paved over during a construction project.
