Renovations at a Texas school led to an unexpected discovery of a decades-old purse filled with items, including a calendar turned to April 1959
Beneath the floorboards of a stage at a League City school, around 26 miles southeast of Houston, contractors found a small, plastic clutch filled with items that once belonged to a 13-year-old. Sydney Hunt, a senior communications specialist with the Clear Creek Independent School District, told CNN the purse was still intact, aside from a few holes that were chewed out from a rodent. “Everything we pulled out added to her story,” Hunt told CNN. “It was like piecing together a puzzle.
Frank Williams, Jr.. “It was like looking at today’s Facebook,” Richard Lewis, Vice President of the League City Historical Society, told CNN. But when the school district ran the name through yearbooks, they had no luck finding a Beverly Williams, Lewis said. School and city records were also unable to locate Williams. They eventually realized Beverly was the teen’s middle name – her first name was Andrea.
