To Be Arranged Later
Clyde F. Goodballet, former street commissioner and twice a
member of City Council, died suddenly of a heart attack today at 10:15 a.m. in
his apartment in the basement of the Carnegie Public Library. He was 54.
Mr. Goodballet, who had been in poor health for several
months because of a diabetic and heart condition, was found by his wife, Mrs.
Gertrude F. Goodballet, custodian at the library, in an unconscious
condition. She called a physician but
he died within a few minutes after the doctor arrived.
Mr. Goodballet was born in Marietta and came to East

an operator at the Water Works plant, from which he retired last March 1.
A Democrat in politics, Mr. Goodballet, was elected First

In 1930 he was appointed to council after J. R. Chambers resigned as
councilman-at-large to succeed the late Samuel Burgess as president of
council. He also was street
commissioner for about two years during the administration of Mayor Ralph
Benedum.
Mr. Goodballet was a
member of the Masons, the National Brotherhood of Operative Potters and the
Pennsylvania Ave. Methodist Church.
He leaves his widow, one daughter, Mrs. Gertrude Reese of
East Liverpool; two sons, James Andrew Goodballet and Robert F. Goodballet of
