Does anyone have an idea about whatever happened to the membership records for the Rich Valley Lodge No. 616 of the International Order of Odd Fellows (IOOF)? I assume it was based in or around Carnegie PA. I'm guessing that lodge disbanded and was embraced by another lodge, but the national headquarters hasn't been able to help me figure out where the records might have gone. I'm especially interested in info about my great grandfather Philip Werle (d. 1924) of Carnegie, who was am IOOF member.
