DESERT NEWS STAFF REPORT
ROSAMOND — Funeral services were held Wednesday in Mojave for Denzel Eugene 
Cameron, who passed away October 22, 2004 in a Lancaster hospital.
In an age of microchips and space travel, Mr. Cameron devoted his life and 
energies to preserving the skills that helped move Americans in an earlier time. 
Living on a small ranch along Highway 14 south of Backus Road, he and friends 
could sometimes be seen riding a buckboard as traffic sped by on the adjoining 
freeway, a living reminder of life in a more peaceful, uncomplicated age.
He applied his skills shoeing horses, blacksmithing, training horses and mules 
to help others with similar interests, and to adding authenticity to numerous 
motion picture productions.
Mr. Cameron was born December 30, 1928, in Princeton, Minnesota. He leaves his 
wife of 50 years, Geraldine, sons Willliam, of Carmel Valley; Donald, of 
Rosamond, and Loren, of Mahenen, Minnesota; and daughters Tamara, of Saugus, and 
Evelyn, of Valencia.
Mr. Cameron is also survived by sisters Roberta Morava and Florence Kropp, and 
brother Donald, all of Oregon.
Services were conducted by members of Mr. Cameron’s family in the Stickel 
Mortuary Chapel in Mojave.
