Newspaper Archive

Newspaper coverage is one of the strongest source categories for this site because it captures Moody during his lifetime and career.

Florence coverage

The Florence Morning News item from April 22, 1963, places Moody in a contemporary South Carolina newspaper context as Army Capt. John F. Moody. It helps support the early-career military chronology and Lake City family connection.

Macon coverage

The Macon materials from 1974 through 1976 are especially important. They connect Moody with Mercer University, ROTC leadership, military science instruction, aviation experience, and retirement-era public statements.

These pages are not merely decoration. They help Google associate the site with distinct searchable entities: Mercer University, Macon, ROTC, Army aviation, The Citadel, Korea service, Vietnam service, and John Fleetwood Moody.
