Mr. Moody was a rather busy guy, judging by the appearance of multiple fraternal organization emblems on his grave marker. Besides the Woodmen of the World, there are the three links of the Odd Fellows, the compass and square of the Freemasons, the armaments of the Knights of Pythias, as well as an unknown [to me, suggestions are welcome] emblem for "T.O.T.", signified by those initials on a ribbon that wrap around a halberd. There is even a Woodmen Circle emblem on the reverse, up top, perhaps for his wife, Mollie, who is buried next to him. The family name, "Moody", is on the plinth, with this inscription:
