Geocache Description:

This cache is one of the Mayo Clinic series of caches. While the goal of creating this series is to provide a reprieve or distraction for patients and families who find themselves waiting between tests or procedures, it will hopefully also serve to educate the Rochester caching community of some little known Mayo history. This cache has been placed with permission from Mayo Clinic Facilities and Security. A small water resistant plastic container hidden in a seldom visited secret garden.

Mary Genevieve Kahler
Mary Genevieve Kahler, born May 11, 1905, was the daughter of John Henry Kahler. Her father operated a combination hotel and hospital in Rochester as the town's Mayo Clinic came to prominence. At 22 years old, she married Philip Showalter Hench. The couple had two sons, Philip Kahler and John Bixler, and two daughters, Mary Showalter and Susan Kahler. Mary, an avid gardener, enjoyed entertaining guests at their residence that occupied this city block on 4th Street SE between 5th and 6th Ave. This secret garden captures part of the legacy the Hench couple left for Rochester, Mayo Clinic and medicine.

Philip Showalter Hench
Philip Showalter Hench (February 28, 1896 – March 30, 1965) was an American physician who, with E. C. Kendall, in 1948 successfully applied an adrenal hormone (later known as cortisone) in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis at the Mayo Clinic. With Kendall and Tadeus Reichstein of Switzerland, Hench received the Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine in 1950 for discoveries concerning hormones of the adrenal cortex, their structure and biological effects.
