School Found A Purse That Was Lost Back In The ’50s And It’s Like A Time Capsule For People Of The Generation

Last spring, North Canton Middle School discovered something interesting stuck, a red wallet that had been lost for over 60 years in a gap behind some lockers was firmly covered in spiderwebs and dust. The bag belonged to the teenage girl named Patti Rumfola, who lost her purse in the 1950s or 1960s and they think she was aged 14 when she lost her purse. The school posted this situation on social media and they tracked Patti’s family but discovered that she had since passed away in 2013.
