Mrs. Mary Moody Northern is one of the most distinguished and honored citizens of the state of Texas. The daughter of Mr. William Lewis Moody, Jr., and wife, Libbie Shearn Moody, Mrs. Northern was born February 10, 1892. She is a native Texan and a life- time resident of her beloved Galveston. Mrs. Northern's grandfather, William Lewis Moody, Sr., came from Virginia to Texas in 1852, served in the Confederate Army, and achieved rank of Colonel. Immediately after the close of the Civil War, he moved to Galveston and established a cotton factoring business in the old Henley Building on Galveston's historic Strand. Soon after, he added banking. In 1883 Colonel Moody built the W.L. Moody & Company Building on the corner of 22nd and the Strand. He was joined in the business in 1886 by his son, William Lewis Moody, Jr., and with the subsequent additions of insurance, ranching, newspapers, and hotels, the Moody Enterprises expanded into one of the largest financial empires in the United States. In 1954, upon the death of her father, Mrs. Northern, who at the time was well past retirement age, became the President of more than fifty corporations. Her business acu- men and her close attention to details during that period of time gained her the repution of the "First Lady of " and one of the most illustrious women in America. Cur- rently, Mrs. Northern is Chairman of the Board of Trustees of the Moody Foundation, which was established by her late mother and father. She is also Senior Chairman of the Board of Moody National of Galveston, a member of the Board of Directors of the American National Financial Corporation and its subsidiary, the American National In- GALVESTON BICENTENNIAL HEADQUARTERS BUILT BY J.

Those who go down to the sea in ships, Who do business in great waters; They see the works of the Lord, and His wonders of the deep. For he commandeth, and raiseth the stormy wind, Which lifteth up the waves thereof. They mount up to the heaven, they go down again to the depths: their soul is melted because of trouble. They reel to and fro, and swagger like a drunken man, and are at their wit's end. Then they cry unto the Lord in their trouble, and He bringeth them out of their distresses. He maketh the storm a calm, so that the waves thereof are still. Then they are glad because they be quiet; so He bringeth them unto their desired haven.
