Century Old Newspapers Found in Wall

When workers removed a basement window frame, they found rolled-up copies of The Scranton Times from late 1910 stuffed behind the wooden slats. It is believed they were intended to serve as insulation.

This issue is dated November 12, 1910

The issues were found behind wooden slats. Here you can see a newpaper peaking out.
