The "Woodman of the World" is a fraternal organization , similar to "Elks" or "Optomists". Today, it is better known as a life insurance company, but it's members sometimes do have lodge meetings with bingo games and such. Don't think this group is a secretive as some, so you may see if you have a local chapter, and ask about old records. Grady T.
