First     of     flood     victims     laid     to      rest

Pallbearers in Cambridge, O., delivered the body of Roger E. DeNoon for burial following the flash floods near Shadyside, O.

Family believes man died

in attempt to help others

        CAMBRIDGE, O. -- The body of Roger E. DeNoon was one of the first to be found after a flood ravaged the Ohio Valley community of Shadyside last Thursday.  Yesterday, in a silent hillside cemetery here, DeNoon was the first to be buried.

        Shortly after a military burial in Guernsey County Memory Gardens, members of the grieving family said they weren't sure why the 51-year-old man was taken from them, but they think they know how he was swept up in the flash flood.

        DeNoon, family members said, was waiting for a ride from his wife, Gloria, and one of their daughters, Kelly Ann, at a nearby grocery store.  He was walking home from the Shadyside VFW Post, but stopped at the store on his way home because it had begun raining.

        Before Gloria DeNoon and her daughter could travel the few miles from their Wegee Creek home to the store, DeNoon had disappeared.

        "We think he heard people screaming down in the creek and went to help them," said Roger DeNoon Jr., one of DeNoon's two sons.  "He wouldn't have been walking in the rain if he had a ride coming.  That valley was full of screaming people.  We know he went down in there to help someone.

        "He's a hero in our book."

        DeNoon was a veteran of the Marine Corps and the Army.  He hasn't worked since 1973, when he fell 2 1/2 stories from a scaffold while installing aluminum siding on a house in Illinois.  As he fell the siding in his hands struck a live electric line, sending 12,000 volts of electricity through his body.  He suffered severely burned hands and legs and seriously damaged his back.

        "He survived that," Gloria DeNoon said.  "But not this.  But it's not in our control.  It's God's decision."

        Family members spoke proudly of DeNoon who they say would do anything for anybody.  He was a person who, Roger Jr. said, "would give you the shirt off his back if you needed it."

        Though the family had moved to Shadyside only eight months ago, they apparently had made a lot of friends.  About two dozen people drove the 45 miles to Cambridge from Shadyside, where private services were held.

        The family and others gathered in the Bauknecht funeral home to pay their respects.  During the service, several small groups of people stood outside, waiting to lay to rest Edna and John Andrecht, an elderly couple killed by the torrential waters.

        "We want the people of Shadyside who have family members missing to know they're not alone," said Roger Jr.  "We lost a lot, because we loved my Dad a lot, but there are others out there who lost everything."

        Gloria DeNoon said that since the accident in 1973, her husband had often been in pain.  "But his pain's over now," she said.  "He's with God."*
