Death of H. Clay Moody

Details
Category: Families & Individuals

H. Clay Moody, a young man of 24 years, died suddenly last night at S. M. Dyer's boarding house on the corner of Prince and Commerce Streets.

Moody had been complaining of his throat since Sunday. Tuesday and yesterday he did not go to work, but stayed in the house. Yesterday afternoon he was walking around the house and he as he afterwards said, felt a pain, suddenly shoot up from his throat. Some blood appeared and Moody thought a blood vessel had burstied.

A physician attended him about 7:30 p.m. and picked his left tonsil in order to relieve it of surplus blood. A hypodermic injection was given the young man and he went to bed. At half past 11 o'clock, Mr. Dyer, who was in Moody's room, noticed that the young man had stopped breathing. He got a light and beheld a white corpse.

Squire Brown was summoned and he impaneled a jury and an inquest was held. The jury’s verdict was that Moody had came to his death by the bursting of a blood vessel which allowed a clot to form which produced death when it reached the heart.

H. Clay Moody came to Knoxville on the 24th of January, a little over one year ago. He was from Mossy Creek. His father is W. W. Moody, who since his son's coming to Knoxville, has moved to Mt. Vernon, Mo. Young Moody was an employee of Daniel Briscoe & Co.
