Independent Order of Odd-Fellows .- The Inde-

pendent Order of Odd-Fellows is a charitable fra- ternal and beneficial organization, and a legitimate offspring of the Manchester Unity of Odd-Fellows in England. The payment of weekly and funeral benefits to its members, whether in straitened circumstances or not is one of its peculiar and dominant features. The amount thus paid to its members in this country has grown to almost fabulous figures, and every night throughout the land thousands of dollars are voted to its sick and disabled members, of which the general publie know nothing.

The origin of modern Odd-Fellowship is of com- paratively recent date. Apparently endeavoring to rival other organizations, an absurd claim was set up by some, ascribing its origin to the Jewish legion under Titus, who, it is asserted, received from that emperor its first charter written on a golden tablet. Even more ancient origin has been ascribed, but all Odd- Fellows now agree that Odd-Fellowship can be traced no further back than about the middle of the eighteenth century ; the name is explained from the fact that orders and sects that rendered aid to men- bers in times of sickness and distress were exceedingly rare.

The Manchester Unity of Odd-Fellows was planted on American soil by Thomas Wildey, in Baltimore, in 1819. This was soon followed by the institution of Pennsylvania Lodge, No. 1, in Philadelphia, De- cember 26, 1821, at the public-house of John Upton, on Dock Street. This lodge was started by English- men social and convivial in their habits, and the or- ganization thus commenced soon became of more than local interest. Like convivial spirits beeame identi- fied with the order, and as they separated, induced lodge organizations wherever they happened to locate. Such an individual in the person of Morton Kelsey, who belonged to a Philadelphia lodge, eame to Nor- ristown in the fall of 1836.1 His evenings were spent

Coates, and the zealousness of the man's nature soon found others who were willing to co-operate with him and institute a lodge. The initiations were then a mere travesty of the impressive lessons now taught, and euriosity doubtless prompted several to become identified with the order. Mr. Kelsey secured the necessary information, and Montgomery Lodge, No. 57, was organized February 27, 1837, the charter having been previously granted by the Grand Lodge. The following-named persons were first elected, to wit :

retary, John W. Powell; and Treasurer, Jacob Spang. The lodge first met Saturday evenings, and was or- ganized in an attic over the back buikling of the resi- dence of William Powell, immediately adjoining the property on which Music Hall now stauds. Shortly afterwards the meetings were held in the old court- house, but at the expiration of a year Samuel Jami-

son rented them a room on Main Street for sixty dollars per annum for meeting purposes. At the expiration of another year they again moved, this time to the house of their treasurer, where, January 19, 1840, all they owned was swept away by a disastrous fire. This was evidently the work of an incendiary, for the popular feeling against secret societies was very great. Notwithstanding this great loss meetings at different places were still held. Immediately after the fire a full set of regalia was presented by a Philadelphia lodge, and the brotherhood in that city contributed $155.25 to the distressed lodge. The assets being at this time merely nominal, a suitable place in which to meet being secured with difficulty, it was sometimes weeks before a quorum could be obtained, and the end of Montgomery Lodge seemed fast approaching. This was doubtless aided by the feeling which, during all this time, existed against fraternal organizations. The conviviality of the members, too, had a deleterious effect on the membership, but a general weeding-out of this class, as also of some for the misappropriation of funds, revived the lodge, and made it what it is to- day, one of the finest organizations of the kind in ex- istence in the State. The popular feeling against secret societies abating, the next few years witnessed not only a large increase in the membership of this lodge, but the institution of new lodges throughout the county. The second, Wissahickon Lodge, No. 178, was formed at Flourtown, and was instituted by the Grand Lodge officers, assisted by H. S. Leibert, of Montgomery, as the District Deputy. August 27, 1846, Thomas Bitting was elected N. G. ; N. K. Shoe- maker, V. G .; J. A. Martin, Secretary ; Charles J. Ai- main, Assistant Secretary ; and S. H. Aimain, Treas- urer. This lodge has erected a hall, and is a good

working lodge. Messrs. Thomas Bitting and Charles of good material, and has done much to alleviate the J. Aimain still retain their membership.

D. D. G. M. X. S. Leibert instituted Merion Lodge, No. 210, November 3, 1846. This lodge is still in ex- istence, has had its periods of "hard times," but is now in a flourishing condition. The incoming Grand Master of the State, Dr. F. V. Van Artsdalen, is a member of this lodge.

D. D. G. M. Leibert instituted Centre Square Lodge, No. 204, December 22, 1846, at Centre Square. The application for the charter of this lodge, was granted by the Grand Lodge before that of No. 210, but when the officers visited the village, and saw the room in which the charter members proposed to meet, they withheld the charter until a more suitable place could be obtained. The institution of this lodge was thus postponed for more than two months. Those interested persisted, and finally procured the second story of an old wheelwright-shop, where the lodge was instituted by Mr. Leibert, assisted by a delegation from Montgomery Lodge, No. 57. Thomas H. Wentz was elected N. G .; William Zimmerman, V. G. ; Jacob Fisher, Secretary; George Sheaf, Sr., Asst. Secretary ; and Wells Tomlinson, Treasurer. One of

the charter members of this lodge, George F. Sheaf, Sr., was initiated in Philadelphia, March, 1828, and is still living, a remarkably well-preserved old man. He is the second oldest Odd-Fellow in the State, has always been active in subordinate lodge-work, and for many years has been the secretary of Centre Square Lodge. The members of this lodge becoming dissatisfied with the accommodations which the wheelwright-shop afforded, purchased the building they now own, and remodeled the third story into a commodious lodge-room.

In the early part of the year 1847, Brother Leibert, as D. D. G. M., instituted four lodges, as follows : Mana- tawny Lodge, No. 214, at Pottstown, January 5, 1847 ; Gratitude Lodge, No. 216, at Conshohocken, January 15, 1847 ; Eagle Lodge, No. 222, at Hunt- ingdon Valley, February 4, 1847; and Curtis Lodge, No. 239, at Norristown, April 29, 1857. Manatawny Lodge had seven charter members, and elected the following officers: Solomon A. Stout, N. G. ; Joseph E. Yeager, V. G .; Henry A. Sellers, Secretary; Andrew H. Lip- pin, Assistant Secretary ; and Bernard Weand, Treas- urer. Samuel Lighteap and Charles Moore were the two additional members who applied for the charter. This is one of the best disciplined lodges in the State. Its Secretary, Dr. Charles Moore, was for years the representative of the Grand Eneampment in the Grand Lodge of the United States, and no more efficient officer lives than he. Gratitude Lodge, at Conshohocken, is a good working lodge, and is now prospering. A hall now in the course of erection indicates the interest the members take in the order. Curtis Lodge, No. 239, was composed almost entirely of members of Montgomery Lodge at its organization. This lodge is the largest in the county, is composed wants of its members. William A. Ruddack, a mem- ber of this lodge, is a Past Chief Patriarch of the Grand Eneampment of Pennsylvania.

On the 24th of Angust, 1848, Spring House Lodge, No. 329, was instituted by withdrawing members front Wissahiekon Lodge, No. 178. After institution the members concluded to build a hall, and in this laudable effort were assisted by some of the public- spirited citizens of the neighborhood. This lodge is in a good condition now, numbering over one hundred members.

Peace and Love Lodge, No. 337, was instituted at Willow Grove, November 6, 1848. The lodge first met in the attic of a private house, next door to the Fountain Hotel. The members coming principally from the vicinity of Jenkintown, a growing village, succeeded in having it removed to that place. The first meeting was held in that village April 13, 1850.

Loller Lodge, No. 338, was instituted December 8, 1848, at Hatboro'. The lodge takes its name from the old academy located at that place, and is in a good financial condition.

Providence Lodge, No. 345, was instituted February

19, 1849, and has had many difficulties to overcome. pendence. Norris Lodge is a good working lodge, It first met at the Trappe, in Providence township | and has been the means of doing much good in dis- tributing money to its sick, distressed and worthy members. Believing that "it is more blessed to give than to receive," a Christmas call at the house of an afflicted or indigent member from the membership with provisions and a well-filled purse is not an un- usual thing.

(hence its name), but many years ago, its members tiring of their effort to overcome the prejudice of the vicinity, contemplated surrendering the charter. A few members who weekly drove from Kulpsville de- termined to save it, and succeeded in removing the lodge to the last-named place. The members here upheld it through that period of prejudice, which al- most cost the members social ostraeism, until now, although not strong numerieally, the lodge is in a good financial condition, and has the well-wishes of the people of the neighborhood.

Marble Hall Lodge, No. 351, was instituted July 10, 1849, at Barren Hill, now called Lafayette Ilill. This lodge has erected a fine hall, and has a large member- ship.

Douglas Lodge, No. 367, was instituted June 14. 1849. This lodge met at Douglasville and had a checkered history. The prejudice of the people of the vicinity drove from the lodge many of its mem- bers. In May, 1852, the lodge not having held a meeting for several weeks, it was determined to sur- render the charter. The charter remained among the archives of the Grand Lodge until July 17, 1874, when certain members, obtaining their cards from Pennsburg Lodge, No. 449, and Providence Lodge, No. 345, re- claimed the charter and instituted Perkiomenville Lodge, No. 367, at Perkiomenville. This lodge now numbers over one hundred members, has erected a suitable hall, and the average attendance at the | weekly meetings is much better than those of the lodges meeting in the several boroughs of the county.

Banyan Tree Lodge, No. 378, was instituted October 23, 1849, at Ardmore. This lodge has a few enthusiastic members and deserves to succeed.

Economy Lodge, No. 397, was instituted February 25, 1850, at Evansburg. The meetings of this lodge are still held in the third story of the store and post-othee at that place, and has a large and commo- dious room. The lodge is progressing finely.

On March 28, 1851, Norris Lodge, No. 430, was in- stituted. The charter members formerly belonged to Montgomery and Curtis Lodges, and were ambitious young men largely drawn from professional and mer- cantile life, who believed that another lodge could live and prosper in the borough of Norristown. This addition to the family of lodges in this county soon proved itself entirely worthy of fellowship, for many young men became members, and energy became typical. A rivalry, not bitter, but friendly, soon arose and still exists. The three lodges in the borongh ex- tend cordial invitations to the others when making or receiving visitations, and candidates from either of the lodges for an office to be voted for in the district re- ceive a cordial support in all. The membership of this lodge now consists principally of men identified with industrial pursuits, are social and genial in their intercourse with each other, and profess great inde-

Pennsburg Lodge, No. 449, was instituted September 18, 185I, in the second story of an old shop at Penns- burg. In this room the lodge met until May 18, 1853, when it was first convened in the third story of the residence of Jacob Hillegass. Being dissatisfied with the accommodations afforded, the lodge erected a large and spacious hall, three stories in height, which was dedicated May 18, 1876. This hall is the largest in the county, and the lodge-room is possibly better adapted for degree work than any other. Dr. Edwin II. Bieber, of Brotherly Love Lodge, No. 77, and Daniel Heins, of Douglas Lodge, No. 367, were in- strumental in organizing this lodge. Several times after having secured the signatures of gentlemen who resided in the neighborhood to an application for a charter they were informed that objection had been made, and they desired their names withdrawn. In this manner the efforts of Messrs. Bieber and Heins were frustrated until the necessary number were obtained. After institution the lodge fre- quently failed to meet for the want of a quorum, until the surrender of the charter was contemplated. The members most interested suggested that the ses- sions of the lodge be held after the people in the vicinity had retired, and in this way the lodge organi- zation was maintained. Frequently members of the lodge were publicly denounced. Even at the "Harvest Home" held by the lodge during the year 1883, the Rev. Mr. Deckant, although invited by the lodge to speak, assailed the fraternity with much feeling and great bitterness. The lodge has, however, overcome all such difficulties, and is one of the best in the county. The members occasionally use the German ritual and are well versed in the unwritten work in both languages.

Upper Dublin Lodge, No. 458, was instituted November 17, 1851, at Jarrettown. This lodge is chiefly composed of farmers, and is conservatively managed, and as a natural consequence the finances are in a good condition.

Madison Lodge, No. 466, was instituted at Pottstown, June 14, 1852. The charter members came from Mana- tawny Lodge, No. 214. Tlie lodge is finely progressing.

Gulf Lodge, No. 525, was instituted at Gulf Mills, June, 12, 1856. The lodge was soon removed to West Conshohocken, and is progressing admirably in its work, and has a jovial membership, their hospitality being almost proverbial.

North Wales Lodge, No. 610, was instituted at North Wales October 12, 1867. This lodge is in good working order and thoroughly equipped, the members being earnest and active.

HISTORY OF MONTGOMERY COUNTY.

Lansdale Lodge, No. 977, was instituted March 17, 1881, at Lansdale. There are now nearly one hun- dred members belonging to it, mostly young men, and all seem to be earnest and aetive.

The two lodges in Norristown succeeded in erecting a fine hall in the year 1850. In this, however, they were aided by the citizens, and the venture became a joint-stoek company, which sold its building in 1878 to Philip Quillman, who has remodeled it. The three lodges, the Encampment and the Rebekah Aid meet in this hall, as do also many other seeret societies.

During the year 1876, when the centennial anni- versary of the Declaration of Independence was cele- brated in Philadelphia, the order throughout the State appropriately celebrated the event by a grand street parade. The lodges of the Upper District of Mont- gomery County participated in this demonstration. Lodges 37, 204, 239, 345, 397, 430 and 610 joined to- gether, elected Samuel S. Apple, of Providence, No. 345, as marshal, and turned out fully two hundred men in line. Thus has Odd-Fellowship grown until there are now twenty-three lodges in the county, with a membership of about two thousand three hundred.

The Eneampment branch of the order requires favorable mention. Endeavoring to copy after a sister fraternity, additional degrees to those of the subordinate lodge were written, and the Grand Lodge of the United States finally acceded to the request, and made an independent branch for the patriarchal degrees. Norristown Encampment, No. 37, was insti- tuted in July, 1846, by Montgomery Lodge members. It now has upwards of two hundred members, and is one of the fixed institutions of the county. Its mem- bers are principally taken from the three lodges in the borough, but it is a harmonious body. Since organiza- tion, this encampment has paid in benefits $21,775.00, in funeral benefits $2,820.00, and in other charities $415.00 or making a total of $25,010.00. The present officers are Chief Patriarch, Benjamin F. Wright ; Scribe, James R. Ebert ; Treasurer, Edmund A. Kite.

Centre Square Encampment, No. 84, was instituted at Centre Square December 29, 1848. The meetings were subsequently held at Hickorytown, though not for a long time, for they were soon thereafter held at the place of institution. Here the members, cherish- ing the beautiful lessons taught in the ritual, clung to the charter until it was felt that it must be surren- dered. At this time enough of the members of North Wales Lodge became identified with it to secure its removal to the last-named place, where it has since prospered. This encampment has paid in benefits the sum of two thousand six hundred and fifty-nine dollars since its organization. The present officers are: Chief Patriarch, Thomas McClain ; Scribe, David R. Lewis; and Treasurer, William W. Mor- ris. The following lodges have since been instituted : Excelsior Eneampment, No. 85, at Pottstown ; Flour- town Encampment, No. 94, at Flourtown; Mont- gomery Encampment, No. 115, at Ardmore ; Marble Hall Encampment, No. 169, at Barren Hill; Abington Encampment, No. 189, at Jenkintown; Conshohocken Encampment, No. 209, at Conshohocken, and Penns- burg Encampment, No. 234, at Pennsburg.

On the 1st day of May, 1883, Lanah Degree Lodge, No. 133, of the Daughters of Rebekah, was instituted by the Grand Lodge officers at North Wales. This is the only one in the county. A lodge of the Daughters of Rebekah was instituted at Pennsburg, but was short-lived. Miriam Beneficial Aid Associ- ation for Odd-Fellows and Daughters of the Degree of Rebekah was organized at North Wales January 1, 1884. This is a beneficial organization, and is run in conjunction with the Rebekah Degree Lodge.

The Norristown Rebekah Aid has long been in ex- istence. It is an independent organization, but none but Odd-Fellows, or their wives and daughters, can become members. It is exclusively beneficial, and is a strong, healthy organization.
