ODD FELLOWS.
The first organization in this city of a lodge of the Independ- ent Order of Odd Fellows dates back to 1839, at which time five well-known citizens of Columbus petitioned for a charter to organize Columbus Lodge, No. 9. The charter was granted, and the lodge was instituted on the 4th day of July of the same year. Its organization and meetings were held in the third story of Walcutt's brick building, on High street, opposite the United States Hotel. The association increased very rapidly, and numbered among its members some of our most prominent citizens. The association moved into a hall, specially fitted up for its use, in the Buckeye block, a few years after its organization, and about the time the Central Lodge, No. 23, was instituted. After occupying that hall a few years, they took possession of the third story in the Bank building, southeast corner of High and State streets, remaining there some time. Platt's building was also used a few years, so was the hall in the Carpenter Brothers' building opposite the Gwynne block. This was the last place occupied by the different organizations of Odd Fellows in the city, before they moved into their beautiful new temple-an engraving of which appears in this work-built by them at an expense of about seventy-five thousand dollars. They are at this time the largest beneficial organization in the city, and as such they have a regular system of relief for sick, disabled, and distressed members, and for the widows and orphans of deceased brothers. All this requires annually a very large expenditure of money.
