    Notes 
    • Art, as he was known, died suddenly while trying to subdue a prisoner in the jail where he was Chief of Police in Momence, IL. He is buried in Momence Cemetery, Momence, IL.

      Art and Effie O'Connell Moody were married in Momence by David F. Wilson, Minister of the Gospel, Methodist Church. Effie was 31 years old and Art, 27 years at the time of their marriage. On their marriage license, it lists Art's occupation as a mechanic. Witnesses to the license were Ed O'Connell, brother of the bride and Ralph Moody, brother of the groom.

      They spent their married life after the death of her parents, Thomas and Rosella O'Connell, in the O'Connell family home at 125 North Walnut Street in Momence, IL.

      Years after the death of Art, and Effie was elderly and needed help, her daugher, Marjorie and her family move in with her, caring for her until her death.

      After the death of their daughter,Marjorie, the family home was sold, having been in the family for four generations.

      The name of Arthur's mother was Elizabeth, but the last name on the marriage license is difficult to make out. It looks like Ferind or Firund.
