George H. Moody (d. 1957)
Reverend G. H. Moody arrived in Rampart House in 1920 with Bishop Stringer to replace Amos Njootli. The parishioners did not welcome him and petitioned for a First Nation minister. Moody moved his service to Old Crow [with the rest of the Rampart House community?] in mid-September 1921. Moody spent the winter of 1923/24 in Dawson and the Bishop said that Old Crow was hard on him, especially the last winter when he ran short of food. He transferred out of Old Crow in June 1925 and was replaced by Reverend A. C. McCallum who arrived in July.1)
Mary Davis “Toby” Anderson met Reverend Moody in Dawson and they were married in 1926. Mary, originally from New Zealand, had worked as a housekeeper at the Chooutla school in Carcross and at St. Paul’s Hostel in Dawson. After they married, they moved to Eagle, Alaska for six years and their son John was born there in 1929. They moved to Stewart, British Columbia and then to New Zealand. Mrs. Moody revisited the Yukon in 1961. Her collection of photographs and manuscripts are held at the Yukon Archives.2)
