Dr. Denkenwalter's son Oscar is buried behind the tennis court at
McCormick's Creek's Canyon Inn. The story is that the Dr.'s youngest child
contacted diphtheria while playing with a stray cat. He's the only one
buried in the McCormick's Creek Cemetery.

sufferer for some time. Dr. Denkewalter was born in Germany 72 years ago.
He had come to the United States in 1870 and opened a drug store in
