Moody Funeral Home

Items pertaining to Moody Funeral Home including booklets, postcards, pamphlets, photographs, calendars. In the year 1902, Mr. E. A. Hannah and his wife arrived in Mount Airy from Indiana to go into business as a harness and coffin dealer. In 1915, Wade C. Moody, a young local resident, was hired by Hannah to be the janitor and to handle the two horses that pulled the funeral coach. In 1918, Moody married and was later drafted into the army for two years in World War I. Upon returning to Mount Airy, he was re-hired by Hannah. By this time, Mr. Hannah was in failing health and sold a part of the funeral business to Mr. Moody. Then, in 1920-21, Mr. Hannah sold the rest of the business to Mr. D.E. Nelson, and the funeral business then became the Nelson-Moody Funeral Home. In 1927-28, Mr. Nelson sold his half to Mr. Wade Moody, and the name was changed to Moody Funeral Home. The Business was then moved to the corner of Market and Franklin Street, and Mr. Moody became the sole owner. In 1935, Dennis W. Moody, the son of Wade C. Moody, joined his father in the business. But like his father before him, Dennis had to leave the business temporarily to serve his four years in the Armed Services. In 1947-48, Dennis became the President of Moody Funeral Home, which then extended into Dobson, North Carolina and Stuart, Virginia. This made the total of three facilities, which is what there is today. Dennis W. Moody, Jr. joined his father in 1969-70, and was with the business until his death in 1983. Robert H. Moody, current President, joined the firm in 1978. As we are in the fourth generation of serving the people of Northwest North Carolina and Southwest Virginia, our charge is to live up to the slogan which Dennis W. Moody, Jr. created: "We strive for a quality of service that will give you a service of quality."

Matt Hines, General Contractor

Items related to Matt Hines, General Contractor James Madison "Matt" Hines was born July 31, 1893 at his parent's farm in Carroll County, Virginia - not very far from the North Carolina border. Matt's father was William "Will" Hines. Will's parents were Robert Hines and Susan Forkner, who lived in Mount Airy, North Carolina. Matt's mother was Mary E. Virginia "Mollie" Mitchell. Mollie was born in Franklin County, Virginia and her parents were William Allen "Buck" Mitchell and Nancy Jane Price. Matt married Stella Sherman Parker on May 12, 1917 in Mount Airy. Early in their marriage, Matt built a two-story home for his wife and young daughter, Alma. It was the first home he built and is located at the corner of Country Club Road and North Main Street. The current address is 1809 North Main Street. Matt did most of the work on that house himself. The lumber for the house came from his family's land in Virginia. He loaded logs onto a horse-drawn cart and took them to a mill to have them cut into lumber. When a contractor came to Mount Airy to build a school, Matt got a job with him, and stayed on that project until it was finished. The contractor then placed Matt in charge of remodeling a house. Soon after that, Matt's brother-in-law, WeldonParker, asked Matt to build a new house for him. Then, several other people asked him to do the same thing. Matt taught himself how to draw blueprints, and he started his own contracting business. As Matt's business became successful, he built a new home for his family, which later included another daughter Marianna. It was a two-story brick home and is located at what is now 1132 North Main Street in Mount Airy. He built that home in the 1920s and was originally numbered 480 North Main Street. Over the years, Matt employed many people and built many houses, including some of the nicest homes in Mount Airy. He built some of the stores downtown and schools and churches. Matt also built homes in other towns, including Dobson and Winston-Salem, where one of his projects was a big apartment building. He also built many houses to rent and sell. Sometimes Matt had three to five projects going at once. To keep a steady supply of lumber, Matt bought tracts of land and started his own lumber company. He also opened Hines Pallet and Reel Company where they made pallets for the government during World War II. The most active years for Matt and his contracting business were in the 1920s, 1930s, and 1940s. Matt eventually retired in the 1950s and moved part-time to Daytona Beach, Florida. He died on July 4, 1980 and was buried in Mount Airy at Oakdale Cemetery.
