Alice Ophelia Moody, 1876-1953, was born in Tattnall Co., GA the daughter of John B. Moody Jr and Martha Elizabeth Durrence Moody. Her grandfather was John B Moody, a Confederate soldier who was captured by General Sherman's army on June 18 or 20, 1864 in Big Shanty, Ga ( near Kenesaw ) and transferred to Nashville, TN. On July 14, 1864 he was sent to Camp Douglas, in Chicago, where he died of ulcer on Oct. 26, 1864 at age 47. He was buried in Block 2, Chicago City Cemetery. The remains of Confederate prisoners who perished under the deplorable conditions at Camp Douglas were removed from the potter's field where that have been buried to Oak Woods Cemetery shortly after the war. They were placed in what is now known as the Confederate Mound. A 46 foot monument was later erected to commemorate the estimated 6000 soldiers and sailors of the Confederacy who are buried there.
