Lost chalice found 112 years later

From Minnesota-

The little red church on New Richmond's north side is full of history and mystery.

Kirby Symes can tell you all about how the St. Thomas and St. John Episcopal Church came to be. The retired history teacher can tell you how a tornado ripped through the city more than one hundred years ago and destroyed the first church.

But there's a bit of history that gets a little fuzzy even for Symes. Several weeks ago, Symes found an old chalice in a cabinet in the basement. It had been there for years.

"It just kept appearing and flopping out and getting in the way," he said.

Turns out that chalice that kept getting in the way is the only church artifact that survived the deadly 1899 tornado. Just how it survived and how it got back to the church is a mystery.

"Who found this thing lying in the rubble? I have no idea, none. I have no idea who might have found it and how it gravitated back to the church," he said.
