Relics Found in Yard Excavations

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

The stone was believed to be the cornerstone of the old Stoughton Hall, which stood on the site. A Spanish coin of the year 1776 and bearing the stamp of Carolus III, was found by one of the workmen, and in one corner of the brick foundation several pieces of metal were discovered. The foundation is still intact, and if the excavation were carried farther, it is probable that other interesting relics would be found.
