Volney D. Moody, for many years a resident of this city, died at his home

Santa Clara county, and with his brothers, Charles and David B. Moody,

to the Central Milling Company, now the Sperry Company, he disposed of
his interest to his brothers and removed to Oakland, where he became largely
interested in realty and numerous business enterprises. He has at various
