Moody; born: Oct 8, 1893 in Rumley Twp., Harrison Co., OH; male; white; Father: Harry J. Moody; Mother: Tacey Manbeck; residence of parents: North Twp., reported by assessor M. E. Hood. ----- Avis Blakeman: On Sept. 6, 1913, Lloyd W. and Ruth Annie drove to Silver Lake, Kansas by horse and buggy and there they were married by Rev. Harry James Moody. They drove back to Overbrook and stayed all night at Ruth's Uncle James Tregemba's home, west of Overbrook. Then they lived at John and Clara Tregemba's home for 3 more months before renting a farm 3/4 mile south of there. Ruth and Lloyd W. lived so many places, it was hard to count all of them. At one time, Ruth told me that they had moved 35 times in 27 yrs. of marriage. They lived 4 more places after that. The shortest stay was one month. Ruth Annie insisted they go to Sunday School the first Sunday after they moved. Residences in KS: Overbrook, Topeka, Wichita, 2 in Ramsey (approx. 1922), 2 in Oil Valley (approx. 1924), El Dorado, Lone Star, 2 in Baldwin, 2 in Wellsville, 3 in Ottawa, Berryton (S. of Topeka) Wakarusa (N. of Carbondale). Residences in MO: (7 moves in 4 yrs.) Independence and Bolckow. While working as an oil pumper in Ramsey and Oil Valley, Butler Co., KS, Lloyd got $200 a month, a house, electricity and coal. All water had to be hauled in because every creek & pond had oil in it. While living in Oil Valley, the 3 oldest children attended Wilcox School, a three roomed school house . Oil Well #1 was in their back yard. They were the richest then, than they ever had been. But Lloyd quit to go to work at the Ford plant in K.C. and was laid off 6 mos. later. I remember Dad learning to drive a Model T touring car and going into the ditch just about every time we went anywhere in the car. He forgot that he couldn't sight see like he could riding behind a horse. ----- Joy Christie: My dad was Lloyd Waldo Moody and he was called Waldo, my mother's name was Ruth Annie. My mother told me that in 1918 (winter of 1918-1919), the flu epidemic swept the United States. At this time my parents were living in a house provided by the farmer for whom my father, Waldo, worked. It was south of Topeka, KS. It was a small frame house with a leanto room for my brothers Harry and Laverle, 4 and 2 years old, to sleep in. They could see stars shining through the roof and when it snowed, the had to shake snow from the heavy comforters before they could get up. When mother, Annie, caught the flu, the boys also were sick. But baby Avis, six months old (on Aug. 24, 1919), was not affected by the illness. A bed was made up next to my parents' bed to keep the boys close to Annie and she could keep the covers tucked around them and keep them warm. The baby was bedded down in the baby buggy. My mother was just beginning to get a little better, when my father became very ill. He was in so much pain, he pulled on the metal spokes at the head of the bed and bent them out of shape. When morning came, Annie wrapped in a comforter, drenched in perspiration, made her way to the front porch and caught the attention of the farmer's wife in the house across the road. The doctor arrived shortly bring with him a registered nurse. This nurse stayed to care for Annie. My father was so sick that he was hospitalized for thirteen weeks. The emphysemia left him with only one lung and the doctor said he could not survive a winter in Kansas. He left for El Paso, TX, leaving Annie and the three children in Kansas. Annie, with the help of a neighbor, loaded their lumber wagon with their meager furnishings, including a piano that she had saved her teaching money to buy. She drove the team and wagon twenty miles between Topeka and Overbrook. There, she and her children spent the rest of that winter with Annie's parents. In the spring, Annie gave birth to another baby girl, Frances (b. May 26, 1920). Waldo knew nothing of the advent of this child because Annie wanted to keep him from worrying. Her letters to him mentioned none of her trials during the months he was returning to health in Texas. When he learned of this birth, he returned home and moved his family to Kansas City where he found work driving a street car. In the 37 yrs. of their marriage, my parents moved 27 times! ----- Ethel McGinty: Dad was the coach as well as a player of the Rossville High School football team, as the superintendent didn't know anything about football. He and Dad got into an argument about how a play should be run and the superintendent expelled him from school for that. It was three weeks until graduation and Dad didn't get his diploma. Mom always hated that. Rossville, Shawnee Co., KS is located near Silver Lake. ----- Lloyd L. Moody: Lloyd Waldo Moody was born in the same home that General George Armstrong Custer was born, in New Rumley, Harrison Co., OH. It served as the parsonage for the Brethern Church in which my grandfather, Harry James Moody, served as his first congregation. The foundation still remains as I last saw it in 1980. ----- Alice Cox: Our family lived many places, most of them rented. We lived on the Murphy place 2 mi East of Baldwin. In the Tauy Church neighborhood, we first lived in Zielsdorf place east of Tauy Church, then the Bennet place around 1940 on Sand Creek Rd. near Ernest and Irene Kaub's home. From the Bennet place, we moved south of the west end of Baldwin to the first house and land my parents owned. It was a 2 story house with a front porch near where my sister, Joy Christie lived much later. It was still standing in 2009. About 1948 my parents moved southwest of Ottawa, KS, near Princeton to a farm they bought and Uncle Harvey Talley built a new house there for them. My dad was real hard on his kids, but he was good to my mother. Every year, on her birthday, he would go buy a dress for her. ----- www.familysearch.org - United States World War I Draft Registration Cards, 1917-1918; Shawnee Co., KS: "1347" Registration card "1138"; No. 1; Lloyd Waldo Moody; 23 yrs.; Address: RFD #20, Berryton, Shawnee Co., Kan.; Born: Oct 8, 1893 in New Rumaley, Ohio; Occupation: Farm Laborer; Employer & address: Frank Ranyer, RFD #20, Berryton, Kan.; Dependants: wife & 2 children; Married; Caucasion; Exemption Claim: supports wife & 2 children; signed Lloyd W.
