The Buffalo News has a story about letters to God, written by schoolchildren more than 100 years ago, found in a cross:
Onto paper the students poured thoughts and prayers they hoped would ascend, like so many curling wisps of smoke, into the skies above turn-of-the-century Buffalo.
Their writings would remain hidden from view for more than a century.
Now -- long after the schoolchildren who wrote them grew old and went to their graves -- the letters written by students at Corpus Christi School on Clark Street have been rediscovered.
