WILLIAM ROBERT MOODY 

MOODY'S DEATH BLOW TO FATHER 

Body of Robert Moody Who Drowned Last Sunday in Venezuela, 
   Will Probably Be Brought Back to Suffolk for Burial 

  Condolences upon the receiving of word of the death of his son, William 
Robert, are being extended to his father, W.M. Moody, of Kingsboro Heights, 
who has received two telegrams in regard to the death by drowning of his son 
in Venezuela last Sunday.  Young Moody's body will probably be brought to 
Suffolk for burial, it was learned today, although this will be decided when 
further information of the tragic event is received following the arrival of 
the Steamer Gulf Trade on which he was seeing service, in New York, today. 
Mr. Moody was 28 years old. 

  It was said in the first telegram that Mr. Moody was dead and the cause 
thereof was drowning.  It also told of the place.  A second telegram was 
received later and said that Mr. Moody had been buried in Paraguana Cemetery 
last Thursday. 

  For the last five years, Mr. Moody has been in the employ of the Gulf 
Refining Company and at the time of his death was on the Gulf Trade, which 
runs between New York and Venezuela. 

  Besides his father, Mr. Moody is survived by four sisters, Mrs. Frank Veale 
of Norfolk; Mrs. Clyde Green, Misses Nellie and Alice Moody, the latter three 
of Suffolk; one brother, W. Mills Moody, Jr., of Suffolk.
