----------------
H. L. Good, vice president of the Westmoreland Coal company and prominent in religious and civic affairs of this community, died suddenly of a heart attack last Friday afternoon at 4:15 o’clock in an automobile on Ardmore boulevard, at Forest Hills.
Mr. Good was returning from a meeting in Pittsburgh when he died. W. Frank Gallagher, chief accountant of the coal company, who accompanied him to the meeting and drove the car, stopped when he noticed something was wrong with Mr. Good and secured a physician but Mr. Good had apparently died immediately.
Mr. Good, although suffering from a heart condition for several years had carried on his work as usual. He reportedly complained of a pain in his chest on Friday to friends but attached no significance to it.
Services on Tuesday
Friends were received at his late home, corner of Fairview avenue and Pine street, until 11 o’clock Tuesday morning when his body was removed to the Denmark-Manor church.
Pallbearers were T. E. Whiteman of Export, E. N. Good of McCullough, Otto Kebernick of Hutchinson, Charles L. Tyler of Irwin and John Metton of Yukon.
Among the countless floral tributes massed in the late residence was a truck load of flowers from associates and friends in Philadelphia.
The son of the late Henry and Rebecca Flickinger Good, he was born on a farm in Penn township near Bushy Run battlefield on April 2, 1880.
When but a youth of 18, he began his mining career with the Manor Gas Coal company, now the Westmoreland Coal company, rising from a laborer’s position to that which he held at the time of his death. He became vice president of the Westmoreland Coal company shortly after the death, on February 1, 1930, of the late A. P. Cameron.
Of deeply religious nature, Mr. Good was active in the work of Denmark-Manor Reformed church where he was confirmed as a boy of 14 years. He was past elder of the church and for the past 30 years served as superintendent of the Sunday school. In addition he organized and taught a boys’ class in the Evangelical Sunday school at Claridge.
He carried his religious activities over into his community activities, being prominent in church and boys and girls work in the Kiwanis club of which he was a director. He was also interested in Boy Scout work of his district.
A director of the Bushy Run battlefield commission he also served on the Irwin 75th anniversary directorate and was active in Civilian Defense in the salvage end. He was a member of the Masonic bodies including Lodge 518, F. and A. M. of Greensburg, Kedron Commandery, Syria Temple and Tall Cedars of Lebanon.
He is survived by his wife, Mary Weightman Good whom he married June 21, 1900; and the following children: Mrs Edward Milburn, Henry W. Good of Eighth street extension, Mrs Russell Jones all of Irwin, L. Cameron Good of North Irwin and Mrs. Chester Luke of Irwin. He is also survived by seven grandchildren and one sister, Mrs. C. A. Portzer of Bethlehem.
