Chas. Moody died at his home on Tues
day last. He had been in feeble health
for number of years, gradually failing
until the last few months. when he
was nearly helpless. His mind in COM
mon with his body became more and
more dimmed until friends were with
difficulty recognized. Relgiously Mr..
Moody was peculiar. Looking with dis
trust upon his own life, he shrank from
making too public profession. He,
however, was a firm believer in Christ.
He was honest and uprigh. and had the
entire confidence of his townsmen. He
was wheelwright by trade, but his last
years were spent on a small farm. The fam
lily consisted of Mr.. and Mrs. Moody. two
sons and a daughter, Mrs. j. \. Harrng-
ton of Middlebury. Mrs. Carrie Warner,
who was another daughter, was buried
two weeks ago. Coming to this place
from his native town (BristoD when
young, he spent nearly his whole life
here and was among the small list of our
old citizens. Mrs. Moody has faithfully
cared for him during his long illness.
The funeral was held on Thursday at the
W. NJ. church.
