PROMINENT WOMAN DIES AT HOSPITAL
Mrs. Elizabeth Ballam Davis Goodliffe, 63 years of age, daughter of the late Mrs. E. J. D. Roundy died Wednesday [3 May] at a local hospital after a long illness. Funeral services will be held Saturday [6 May] afternoon at 1 o'clock in the Joseph William Taylor chapel, 25 South West Temple street. Interment will be in Wasatch Lawn cemetery. The body will lie in state from 10 o'clock until noon in the chapel on the day of the funeral.
Mrs. Goodliffe was known and beloved by hundreds of Salt Lake citizens. She was born in London, England, March 24, 1853. She came to the United States with her mother when a little child and resided in Philadelphia for two years. In 1859 the family came to Salt Lake, but the next year removed to Washington D. C., and resided there until the daughter was 17 years of age. The young woman worked for a year as a clerk in the postoffice department. In 1870 she came to Salt Lake and resided here for a number of years, taking a prominent part in Salt Lake theatrical circles. She married Arnold Goodliffe of Snowville in the spring of 1882 and resided in Snowville for fourteen years. Mrs. Goodliffe then removed to Park Valley and engaged in the mercantile business until 1907, when Mrs. Goodliffe came to Salt Lake to care for her mother, Mrs. Roundy, who died in January 1913.
Mrs. Goodliffe is survived by one sister, Mrs. Mary A. Rockwood of Centerville, and three children, Charles W. Goodliffe and Mrs. Roxey Goodliffe Carter, both of Park Valley, and Clarence M. Goodliffe of Salt Lake; also by nineteen grandchildren. -Tribune.
Mrs. Goodliffe was a correspondent to the News for many years writing under the nom de plume of "Bee."
Daughter of Henry Richard BALLAM & Elizabeth Jefford DRAKE.
In her autobiography, my grandmother Marie Goodliffe Metcalf said of Arnold Goodliffe, "He had been living polygamy but when I knew him he had chosen to live with Aunt Esther, as we were taught to call her [Esther Arbon], and he opened a store in Park Valley and moved my Grandmother Goodliffe [Elizabeth Ballam] there to run the store. I never could understand why he chose to live with Aunt Esther, when Grandma Goodliffe was so much prettier and more fun to be around. She was a very interesting person. She had acted in the old Salt Lake Theatre. She had a talent for writing and her handwriting was beautiful."
