Hi Janet, According to my stepdad the Odd Fellows do not keep records of anything like that. Something I have noticed around here is that it is usually a family thing. At least 3 generations of the men in our family have been Odd Fellows, so it is possible he joined because his father or brother was a member also. The Odd fellows should have a local chapter in the city/county where your family member is from. You may try looking them up and contacting them. They also have a chapter for women called the Rebecca's and perhaps his wife and or daughters were members of that. I can say that it is a great organization and if any one here has ever considered it, it is well worth it. They have helped my family alot. Me and my husband are in the process of joining and they even have a youth division for children.

I have very little info on him other than in the obit it mentioned he was a member. I would love to find more info on him. You don't know how much I appreciate it!
