State Archaeologist Jodi Barnes opens time capsule and explores items placed inside 112 years ago while County Judge Keith Neely watches. |
Dr. Barnes advised Bradley County Judge Keith Neely of the process that needs to take place concerning the documents. Each document and artifact found within the time capsule will be photographed, transcribed, and catalogued. This process will begin next week.
Filmmaker Rob Reep, who recently premiered his full-length feature film on Captain Hugh Bradley, searched for two years for proof of the naming of the city after a slave. "I find it eerie that just one day before the film was released that this time capsule was discovered and that a letter from
Captain Bradley's son was inside. When I learned that Hugh Bradley, Jr.'s letter confirmed the legend of how Warren got its name, I was floored. I am thrilled we have the answer and wish I could have had it before we finished the movie. It is great to finally be able to say, it is not just a legend, now we know," says Reep.
