General Notes: Husband - Joseph Moody


His education was the usual one of a farmer's son at that time, attending the district school during the winter months, and assisting in the cultivation of the homestead farm during the summer. In 1856, when he had attained his majority, he decided to branch out for himself, and accordingly acquired a farm of thirty acres in Greene township, Beaver County, Pennsylvania. From there he went to Westmoreland County, and purchased a farm of eighty-six acres, which he cultivated for a period of seven years. He then removed to Beaver County again, where he purchased a tract of seventeen and one-half acres, which he sold in 1907. He was a staunch supporter of the principles of the Republican party, and his religious affiliations were with the Presbyterian Church.
On August 14, 1862, he enlisted in Company H, One Hundred and Fortieth Pennsylvania Volunteers and went to the front, September 1. He served three years and was discharged May 4, 1865, at Camp Reynolds. Mr. Moody was a member of Beaver Post, No. 473, Grand Army of the Republic, and some time was quartermaster of the Post.
