Who must have lived here?

We made stories of who must have lived in this house.  What did it look like in its hay day.  How could they even survive on the prairie, in the winter, or even with the storms in the summer.  I cant even imagine how tough people were back then living off the land and taking care of their family.  It was surprising how many things were still in this old house.  There were some really cool old shoes and a lot of newspapers.  Some of the articles in the news paper were pretty funny.
