THE DENOYER FARM had a common boundary with the Crane Farm. The two also had in common millionaire owners who had others, either hired or renters, to do the actual farming. Philip Denoyer was a partner in the Denoyer Geppert map company of Chicago. He shared with his wife, Xenia, an interest in Girl Scouting. Virginia Haben was a neighbor whose daughter, Barbara, was in the Scout troop. Hope McGlothlin is dismayed on revisiting her old Girl Scout Camp.
DENOYER LOG CABIN was the local campsite for Wheeling Girl Scouts for many years. It had tables, chairs, and a piano on the ground floor and a loft where the campers slept.
TREE CLIMBING wasn't in the Girl Scout handbook, but these girls filled a tree next to the Denoyer cabin and Lucille Schneider was there with her camera.
TINY OUTHOUSE had a shelf along one wall with three basins hung above it, and a faucet to draw water. It was near "Timbuktu," the original two-hole privy. Together they made up the sanitary facilities of the Denoyer Girl Scout camp.
