First Guard Captain Linton Moudy Dies -- Danville National Guard Veteran. Educator Linton Moudy, 88, of Danville, first Unit Commander of the Danville National Guard, who served in that capacity for 13 years, Agri teacher at Danville Schools for 22 years, and a lifelong member and Deacon of the Danville First Baptist Church, passed away on June 22, 2008 at his home. He was a decorated WWII and Korean War Veteran, serving in the Navy, Marines, and National Guard, and retiring as a Major after 25 years.
Joined National Guard in 1946 - Linton Moudy is probably best known for his work with the Danville National Guard and Armory. He joined the Arkansas National Guard, following a decorated career in the Navy and Marines in World War II, in 1946. WWII, Korean Veteran - In 1950, he was in the Booneville Unit of the National Guard that was called up during the Korean War. He helped care for many more wounded from that War. In 1955, he organized a National Guard Unit at Danville, and was appointed Company Commander. He remained in that position, with the rank of Captain, through several reorganizations, for twenty-two years. From 1955 through 1959, the unit, was Company A of the 212th Signal Battalion, and was a telephone line construction company. A major reorganization in 1959 put the unit into Company C of the 217th Engineering Battalion, where it remained until 1967. Twice Awarded Battalion Commander Award - Linton Moudy was twice awarded the "Battalion Commander's Award" for outstanding leadership, devotion to duty, initiative in command, performance in accomplishment of high training and maintenance objectives, and a demonstrated concern for morale and general welfare of his command, in 1963 and 1965. In 1967, another reorganization dissolved the 217tr Engineering, and the unit reverted back to Company A of the 212th Signal Battalion.
Staff Officer At Little Rock Headquarters - At that time, Linton moved to the Headquarters of the 122nd Army Reserve Command in Little Rock, where he served as a Staff Officer until his retirement from the guard, as a training officer with the rank of Major, in 1973. He had organized the Danville Unit in 1955 together with Dr. Walter P. Harris, and together he and Lt. Colonel Harris moved to the Little Rock Headquarters. For a time during Captain Moudy's duration with the Danville Guard, the unit was the second biggest industry in the city, second only to the poultry plant. The annual payroll increased from an average yearly payroll of $20, 000 in 1956 to approximately $200, 000.
Decorated Veteran Wounded In Battle - Linton Moudy had begun his military career in April 1942 when he enlisted in the Navy. He served in combat during WWII as a medical corpsman assigned to the Second Marine Division. He was wounded during the invasion of the South Pacific Island Tarawa, a small island only big enough for an airfield. The Japanese had boasted that it would take 100, 000 American lives to take Tarawa. The battle lasted from November 20 through the 23rd. Corporal Linton Moudy was on a landing craft that carried marines to the island. Fighting was so fierce, that only five marines on the craft survived. Linton was wounded by shrapnel in the upper back while he was getting out of the boat to tend to a wounded soldier. According to an article in the May 25th, 1944 Arkansas Democrat, under heavy fire, bleeding from the shrapnel, he threw his medical pack toward the shore, and jumped out of the boat. He reached a four-foot high seawall where he found many wounded and dying marines. He lined the wounded along the side of the seawall where they were protected from the enemy fire, and administered first aid to the wounded for four days and four nights atending faithfully to the wounded though he himself was badly wounded. 990 marines and 687 Navy men were killed, and 2, 296 Americans were injured. Linton received the Purple Heart. He was 23 years old. Linton was also in the battle for Saipan, in which 3, 100 were killed and 13, 100 were wounded.
Educational Career - He attended Arkansas Tech and he received his Bachelor of Science and Masters degree from the University of Arkansas. He began teaching in 1954, and taught for 22 years at the Danville High School, teaching vocational agriculture and science and serving as sponsor of the Future Farmers of America. He taught plumbing, welding, electrical wiring, mechanical drawing, construction fundamentals, how to draw plans for homes and poultry houses in mechanical drawing, and many other things to many students over the years. His son Forrest told the Record that many students of Mr. Moudy have told him that they are still using the skills they learned in his classes. He also taught them life lessons and a strong work ethic, which he also taught his son and grandchildren. He also taught veterans at Mansfield, Booneville and Danville.
Farming Career - He bought his 252-acre farm in 1954, cleared a lot of it by himself, built several chicken houses and used the litter to build up his pastures. He kept a herd of up to 100 head of cattle, raised turkeys for a while, and had 155 acres of hardwood and pine trees.
Community and Church - He was past president of the Danville Lions Club. He was a member of the First Baptist Church in Danville for 54 years, and served as deacon, Sunday school teacher, and was chairman of the building committee during construction of the present Sanctuary.

After he left the service, he graduated from the University of Arkansas with a degree in Vocational Agriculture and taught veterans and in various public school systems for over 35 years. He retired from Ola Public School in 1985 where he spent the last 6 years of his career as elementary principal.

He continued to protect our country after WWII with 24 years of service in the Arkansas National Guard. He was very active in his community and served as Deacon in the First Baptist Church of Ola for over 40 years.
During his retirement, Paul rekindled his childhood love of horses. He owned several Missouri Fox Trotters, but the love of his horse life was a Palomino Tennessee Walker mare named Sunny Girl. He bought Sunny Girl when she was nine months old and he was 78, and he hand-gentled and saddle-broke her by himself. He and Sunny Girl enjoyed four years together and were often seen in local parades and rodeos and enjoyed many trail rides with his local riding club. Children were his calling and Paul continued to be involved with them after his retirement. He was a familiar sight in the concession stand at ballgames and always provided his famous pecan brittle in the lounge for visiting coaches. He often sponsored several children at summer church camp and was concerned after the future of the youth in his church. His grandsons were a source of great delight for Paul, and he spent many hours with them instilling his values of honesty, humility, integrity and selfless service to others.

Willie Moudy, 72 of Cedar Creek was found dead of a gunshot wound at about 12:30 p.m. Monday. He was lying on the ground near a fence about 100 feet from his house. A coroner's jury found that death was from an accidental gunshot wound received while climbing a fence. His wife, who was in the house at the time of the shooting, said that Mr. Moudy returned from Danville around 12:30 and told her he had seen some quail and was going to take his gun out and see if he could get some of them. She said she heard a shot a short time later and that when she went out into the yard she found him dead. His gun, a single shot 12-guage shotgun, was lying about six feet from his body. An empty No. 6 shell was in the gun. Dr. W.P. Harris of Danville, who examined Moudy, said that the shot entered the left chest and that death was probably instantaneous. He said there were powder burns on the chest. Moudy was a retired fanner and a Methodist.
He is survived by his wife, Mrs. Eva Lampkin Moudy; a brother, Andrew Moudy of Belleville; and two sisters, Mrs. Minnie Graham of Oklahoma and Mrs. Lillie Howard of California.
