"The Clifton Advocate" [Clifton, Iroquois Co., IL], Thursday, 6 Nov. 1919, p. 1:
John Moody of Kankakee died Tuesday morning, Nov. 4, 1919, following a brief illness. For several weeks past he had been taking treatments for heart disease. His only son, George Moody, was murdered in Atlanta, Ga., last July and the trial of his slayer was set for Nov. 7. Mr. Moody was summoned to attend the trial but his health had been so poor that he could not go there and the fact seemed to be giving him considerable worry during the past few days.
Mr. Moody was born at Plainfield, Illinois, Nov. 8, 1859. When a boy he moved with his parents to a farm near Clifton, where he lived during his youth. He moved to Kankakee 31 years ago and was engaged in the implement business. Later he became a traveling salesman for the J. I. Case Thresher Co., and he maintained that position until a year ago when he retired.
He was married twice [sic, thrice]. Two children were born of the first union [sic, first and second]; the daughter is Mrs. Lillie Stetsenbaugh [sic] of Chesterton, Ind; and the son George died last July. Mr. Moody married Clara Travis in 1908, and she survives him. He also leaves a brother, George of Momence, and two sisters, Mrs. Alfred Found of Clifton and Mrs. Oliver Leggott of Kankakee.
He was a member of the Methodist church and the Masonic Lodge.
The funeral and burial services were held in Kankakee Thursday.
