AbstractReports on the copper box containing more than 100 artifacts that was set into the cornerstone of Davenport, Iowa's second "Freie Deutsche Schule" (German Free School) building in 1899. The box contains many photographs, newspapers, and handwritten documents (such as music scores, poems and signatures of the children and teachers of the "Sonntag Schule"), as well as other items, all of which help to reveal "the important part those German immigrants played in the development of Davenport and Scott County over 100 years ago," particularly on the German Free School movement in Davenport
