I'm assuming this house has been abandoned since 2006 according to the two calendars left behind while exploring. The calendars gave off some interesting clues. One was written in both Spanish and German combined. It was from "Riva Palacios Colony in Bolivia" Upon further research, I found that this area was made up of Old Colony Mennonite families from Mexico. Both countries, Bolivia and Mexico, would explain the Spanish language. After further research into this colony, Mennonite Central Committee Canada website states that the students in this Spanish Mennonite colony were instructed in German, so that would explain the combined German language on the calendar. Apparently, some of these Mennonites had returned back to Canada in the 1930s, which may very well be the case of the people who resided in this home. I can't be sure of this, but it seems to be the case. The other calendar was from a general store at a fair that sold Mexican food. The confusion is that there was electricity to this house at one time. But I do know that there are various degrees of Mennonites. Also, this area is known for colonies of the Mexican Mennonite. I also noticed a last name in the house of Hamm which turns out to be a Mennonite name according to the Mennonite Encyclopedia Online website.
