Kenneth James Roth, age 94, of Woodsfield, Ohio passed away peacefully at The Arbors on June 19th 2025. Kenny was born on May 31, 1931 on the farm to Guy and Arlie (Drum) Roth. He often told people he was a 1931 model.

He graduated in 1950 from Green Local High School in Laings. Prior to joining the Army, Kenny worked on the farm and timbered with his father, Guy. He proudly served our country from 1952-1954.

He took great pride in raising his cattle and making the farm as beautiful as possible.
