Colonel P. Moody was the son of Preston T. and Sarah Ann (Elrod) Moody. Shortly after the Civil War, in which his father served in the Maries County Missouri Militia, he came with his family to the Garrison area in Christian County where his father was a prosperous farmer.
He married Mary DeGraff on December 9, 1872 in Boone County, Arkansas. The couple had at least three children, daughters Sarah who married Albert Smith (see Sparta IOOF Cemetery, Christian County, MO), Maude and Bertha (Mrs. Walter Bray, d. Payette County, Idaho).
In 1900 the family was living in Taney County where the father was a farmer in the Swan Creek basin near the village of Swan and the nearby Sperlin Grist Mill. By 1910, Colonel and Mary were separated; no record of a divorce has been found but Mary was living with her parents in Joplin, MO in 1910 and was listed on the census as "Divorced."
Colonel lived with sisters Isabel Clark and Serilda Clark in 1920 and 1930, respectively. Although his burial in Helphrey Cemetery is not certain, it remains likely since both sisters and their husbands and a number of their children were interred there. The circumstances of his death in 1934 remain a matter of research.
His former wife passed away in the home of her daughter Bertha the same year and was interred in Parkview Cemetery, Payette County, Idaho.
