This is a pretty neat story:
Le Hendrick never thought he would find buried treasure while sifting through a file cabinet inside Conway’s Country Club Drive fire station.
“I was just looking for a few files and saw something strange at the bottom of the drawer,†the Conwayite and battalion chief of fire operations said. “I picked it up and was shocked when I realized what it was.â€
In his hand he held an old diary from Conway’s second fire chief Perry Quattlebaum.
Quattlebaum also served as Conway’s first mayor.
The notebook dates back to 1917.

I love stories like this. It makes me wonder though, if in future there will be less stories like this because journalling (on paper) is a minority exercise now.
Looking at it another way, with the lack of people writing, the journals they do discover will be that much more valuable
