Looking for owner of Old Scrapbook
CCSO release – Date / Time: May 17, 2023; Case Number(s): N/a; Classification: Found Property; Location: Coos County. The Coos County Sheriff’s Office is seeking the public’s assistance to locate a century-old scrapbook’s owner. The Coos County Sheriff’s Office has been working diligently to return lost/recovered property to its owners. Unfortunately, this old, leather-bound scrapbook is in the Sheriff’s Office Evidence Locker. The Sheriff’s Office is seeking the public’s assistance to locate the owner or relative to return this memorable keepsake. The Sheriff’s Office believes a “Mrs. L.D. Rutten or Mable C. Rutten,” from Florida is the possible owner. If anyone recognizes the names above or knows the family, please get in touch with Det. Sgt. A. Whittenburg at awhittenburg@co.coos.or.us or 541-396-7800 as we would be deeply honored to return this book full of history to its rightful owner. UPDATE: Thanks to several calls from the public a Daughter-in-law, (Doretta Rutten) was located in Myrtle Point. The scrapbook will be delivered to her tomorrow. Thank you very much for ALL of your help in reuniting this item with the family.
