School Shares Contents Of A Purse From The 50s And It’s Like A Time Capsule

If you’ve ever lost something and given up after looking for it for what seems like forever, today’s story might inspire you to have some faith. Last spring, North Canton Middle School has discovered something interesting stuck in a gap behind some lockers – a dusty red purse. Turns out that it belonged to a teenage girl named Patti Rumfola who had lost the purse at school all the way back in the 1950s or 1960s.

People were dying to see the contents of the purse ever since it was first discovered.

At first, the school didn’t know who the purse belonged to but people were eager to find out. Eventually, they figured out it belonged to Patti but, sadly, the woman had passed away back in 2013.
