The owner of a decades-old missing purse found under the floorboards of a Texas school has been identified.

In a video posted toFacebook, the League City Historical Society said a purse was found under a stage during a renovation at the League City School last year when the building was being turned into a community center.

“One of the photos in there was her at 9.5 months and it said 1946 on it, so that approximates her age at 76 years old,” Lewis said. “She’s the youngest of four sisters. The mother signed a note as Mrs. Frank Williams, so we have a picture of [the dad] but we don’t know her first name.”

The organization decided to share images of the purse and items on social media in the hopes they would be able to reunite Williams with her belongings.
