Rail Victim's Services Set
Services will be held Wednesday at 10 a.m. at the Martin Funeral Home for Delbert Denoon of 556 Railroad St., who was killed here Monday when struck by a freight train as he walked along tracks in the vicinity of the Chester bridge.
Mr. Denoon was born in Smithfield, Ohio, a son of the late Sidney and Alice Beatty Denoon. He was a laborer.
He was a World War I veteran.
Surviving are three brothers, J. Martin Denoon, and Don Denoon, both of East Liverpool, and George Denoon of Bergholz, and one foster-brother, Lloyd Denoon.
The Rev. Charles Menough of the Calvary Methodist Church will officiate. Burial will be in Pine Grove Ridge Cemetery, near Hammondsville. Friends may call tonight at the funeral home.
Mr. Denoon was pronounced dead on arrival at City Hospital by Dr. Roy C. Costello, deputy county coroner. Death resulted from compound fractures of the skull and both legs and a crushed chest.
Police said the westbound Pennsy freight had as its engineer William D. Henry, 45, of Westerville. Otis Shearer of Bucyrus was the conductor and Ralph Snyder of Columbus was the brakeman.
Police timed the accident at 9:51 a.m. on the railroad tracks a half mile east of Walnut St. Henry said the freight was moving about 35 miles an hour when he first saw Mr. Denoon walking on the tracks with his back to the locomotive.
Henry said he sounded the diesel's horn and rang the bell, also applying the emergency brakes, but Mr. Denoon did not appear to notice. The engineer said the victim apparently believed the noise was caused by another freight approaching from the west at the same time.
At the last moment, Mr. Denoon turned and saw the locomotive and tried unsuccessfully to jump clear, the engineer said. His report was corroborated by the conductor. Snyder said he did not witness the incident because it was out of his line of vision.

Pearl Edward Roth, 86, of 717 Franklin, a Danville resident for 74 years, died at his home today (Nov. 2, 1967). He had been in ill health two years.
Born Jan. 9, 1881,* in West Virginia, he was a son of Samuel and Jane Kincaid** Roth.
Surviving are a son George Wilson*** of Milwaukee, Wis.; a daughter, Miss Hazel Roth of Danville, and three grandchildren. He was preceded in death by four brothers and two sisters.
He was a former employe of the Whiteford Furniture Co. for 45 years and was retired.
Mr. Roth was a member of Central Christian Church and the Woodman Lodge. His hobbies were fishing and raising flowers.
Services will be at 1 p.m. Saturday at the Barrick & Son Funeral Home. The Rev. Joe Detamore will officiate. Burial will be in the Stearns Cemetery north of Muncie. Friends will be received at the funeral home 2-4 and 7-9 p.m. Friday.
Submitter's Notes:
* His mother was ELIZABETH JANE KINKADE.
** The U.S., World War I Draft Registration Cards, 1917-1918, and the Social Security Death Index both give, January 9, 1882 as the birth date; and his tombstone on the findagrave.com web site shows 1882.
*** This is confusing. Pearl shares his tombstone with his daughter engraved as HAZEL ROTH WILSON, but I do not know how the WILSON name fits in with the son who is listed as GEORGE E. ROTH in the 1920 and 1930 census and named as George Roth of St. Francis, Wis., in the obituary of Hazel Wilson in 1975. I think it is a misprint in Pearl’s obituary.
