William Henry Moody
"Miss [Mary] Moody has never been interviewed, but one day this week consented to tell the Post reporter how pleased she was to have her brother [Attorney General William H. Moody] with her once more, if only for a two weeks' vacation [in Haverhill]. She is a tall, fine looking woman, with a fine carriage and a commanding figure. On this particular day she wore a heavy white linen or crash gown, the skirt and bodice both adorned by a wide insertion of old lace, and having just come in from a walk, held in her hand a large hat of the prevailing style, with what the men call 'lace curtains' [descending] from the brim, only hers was of soft white silk and the hat was most rich and lovely and I am sure becoming to her tall, well-built figure. She resembles her distinguished brother quite a little, for her hair is the same lustrous yellow, her skin has the same rich bloom, and there is a general undefinable likeness."

Haverhill Artists Illustrate Moody Quotations
Artist: Annie Carriere, Haverhill
In preparation for President Theodore Roosevelt’s visit to Haverhill, “Washington street, decked out in holiday attire, was alive with men, women and children. They filled windows and roofs and stood on the streets and sidewalks. Five thousand persons were in Wingate street alone. Railroad square quivered and throbbed with humanity, and the police were compelled time and time again to move upon the mass with their horses.”
