Hi Carol, Daughters of Pocahontas was a woman's affiliate organization of the Improved Order of Redmen. There is a Masonic museum site that gives some information on the IORM and its origins. It seems to have evolved from the Boston Tea Party "Indians". http://www.phoenixmasonry.org/masonicmuseum/fraternalism/red_men.htm The Rebekahs are part of Odd Fellows. http://www.ioof.org/IOOF/Rebekahs.html Margaret --- [This E-mail scanned for viruses by friend.ly.net.]

I have received a copy of an obituary, the whole left side of which is missing so I've had to piece it together. It was for a Kennebunkport resident. As in my last request, my question is to do with organizations to which she belonged. Hopefully someone can fill in the missing information and tell me a little about the organizations. Following is what I have. I've put in brackets what I think the missing words were. "She was a graduate of Kennebunkport High school, [?] of Aurora Chapter, O. E. [?} . . . [?]el Grange. Looks confusing, doesn't it? Sorry about that. I'd appreciate any help someone might be able to give me. If anyone goes to the Kennebunk library regularly and would be willing to look at the microfilm for this particular obituary to see if more of it can be seen than on the copy printed from it, I'd appreciate hearing from you.

I have just received an obituary for a relative who lived in Kennebunk. It says she was a member of "the Rebekahs and the Daughters of Pocahontas." Can anyone tell me anything about those organizations? Thank you. Carol Dobson New Englander living in Indiana

Hello, "Cyndi's List" has a good page with links to most of the fraternal organiztions. That page is at: http://www.cyndislist.com/soc-frat.htm Here's where to find out all you want to know about the Rebekah's: http://www.ioof.org/IOOF/Rebekahs.html . They are the female branch of the "Odd Fellows". "The Daughters of Pocahontas" are the women's affiliate of "The Improved Order of Redmen". Go to the Redmen's site at: http://www.redmen.org/ . On the lefthand sidebar, you will see "Pocahontas". Directly below that there is a place to click on for the information that you want. Allen E.

I've seen these before, but they are cute. Interesting True Tombstones! Harry Edsel Smith of Albany, New York: Born 1903-Died 1942 Looked up the elevator shaft to see if the car was on the way down. It was. ****************************** In a Thurmont, Maryland, cemetery: Here lies an Atheist All dressed up And no place to go. ****************************** On the grave of Ezekial Aikle in East Dalhousie Cemetery, Nova Scotia: Here lies Ezekial Aikle, Age 102. The Good Die Young. ****************************** In a Ribbesford, England, cemetery: Anna Wallace: The children of Israel wanted bread, And the Lord sent them manna. Old clerk Wallace wanted a wife, And the Devil sent him Anna. ****************************** In a Ruidoso, New Mexico, cemetery: Here lies Johnny Yeast. Pardon me For not rising. ****************************** In a Uniontown, Pennsylvania, cemetery: Here lies the body of Jonathan Blake. Stepped on the gas Instead of the brake. ****************************** In a Silver City, Nevada, cemetery: Here lays The Kid. We planted him raw. He was quick on the trigger But slow on the draw. ****************************** A lawyer's epitaph in England: Sir John Strange. Here lies an honest lawyer, And that is Strange. ****************************** John Penny's epitaph in the Wimborne, England, cemetery: Reader, if cash thou art In want of any, Dig 6 feet deep; And thou wilt find a Penny. ****************************** In a cemetery in Hartscombe, England: On the 22nd of June, Jonathan Fiddle Went out of tune. ****************************** Anna Hopewell's grave in Enosburg Falls, Vermont Here lies the body of our Anna - Done to death by a banana. It wasn't the fruit that laid her low, But the skin of the thing that made her go. ****************************** On a grave from the 1880s in Nantucket, Massachusetts: Under the sod and under the trees, Lies the body of Jonathan Pease. He is not here, there's only the pod. Pease shelled out and went to God. ****************************** In a cemetery in England: Remember man, as you walk by, As you are now, so once was I. As I am now, so shall you be. Remember this and follow me. To which someone replied by writing on the tombstone: To follow you I'll not consent Until I know which way you went.

Dear List: I found a duplicate marriage in the subject file. While it appears harmless on the surface, it could wreak havoc in producing a report. It concerns Henry II of Brabant and Adelaide of Orlamunda. 'Gene Hubbard

Can someone tell me anything about the "LOOM FIXERS HALL" at Alfred street BIDDEFORD. Thank you. ERMIR BOLZANO -ITALY

I wrote to my cousin Dave Haines, DnJHAINES@aol.com, to see if he had any information on this. He has a book on old mills coming out soon and I thought this might be right up his alley. This is his response. Since I know nothing about this please contact him for more info. Priscilla On the Net... Under Loom Fixers Hall, Biddeford, Maine.... Nothing Under Loom Fixers Hall, about 20 hits, but nothing about Maine. Under, Loom Fixers, Maine, there are several but none in Biddeford. Under Alfred St., Biddeford, Maine, there's a whole bunch of stuff with names and addresses. And... the Biddeford Police are at # 39. Phone # listed but no e-mail #. The inquiry is a little shy of details. If I had a better idea what he was looking for, I might have an old mill contact in Maine. Loom is a textile mill thing. Assuming it's Biddeford, Maine, perhaps 'he' should inquire of the Biddeford-Saco Chamber of Commerce, or the local paper. My guess is that is a thing of the 1900-1930 era. Most of those old organizations have long since disappeared but the buildings may still be intact. Sorry, can't be of more help...
