CLEVELAND Lopez No. Is, 1. o. o. Fat
a meeting of a number of the members of
Cleveland Lodge of Odd Fellows, held last
Monday evening, Past Grand Master Charles
Thomas of Cincinnati being present, was
called upon for q few remarks. Mr.. Thomas |
said he was wholly unprepsred for any such |
object. The brother had alluded to the fact |
of his having instituted the Lodge twenty |
years ago; many incidents of that time were
fresh in his memory.
The Grand Lodge had granted charter
for Lodge at Cleveland, and it became his
duty to come here to set it st work. During
those days when no railroads were known
among US, it was difficult to get around, and
early in May of 1s42, he started out with
charter for Lodge ct WarreDtOn in Jefer'
son county, and one for Cleveland. BE
found the petitioners to be scattered abroad,
some upon the Lake as seafaring men, and
others far away. The difficulties in getting
along with the dilemma were considerable,
but all of which were overcome, and upon
the 14th of May, ls42, Cleveland Lodge No.
| Is was instituted.
BE said that he was one Of number who
were instrumental in forming Ohio Lodge No
| l, the first Organization of the kind west Of
the Allegheny mountains. At that time it
was hard task to build..up Lodge in the
face of neither public favor nor even a respec-
table opposition. People had not learned
| - a - ,Itbo,.b - hod an odd
name, there was shyness among the peo-
pie about new things, some viewing it with
6istrust, and others taking no view Of it at
all. Notwithstanding, the Order was built
up, and for the first year or tTo the Order
was composed of men of no Pecuniary
means, and the small sum Of $50 could have
purchased all the capital Of the Lodge and
its members. The second Lodge west otthe
mountains was located at Wheeling, and be-
tween the years of 1912 and 1850, the growth
of Odd Fellowship in the West was unprece-
dented; it has grown to be q mammoth Of
gigantic strength and power for good.
When he joined the Order he felt glad to
know that for small sum he could secure
} himself against want in sickness, and be
was glad to know that he had claim upon
the funds of the Lodge, 80 that by inhrmlty
no would not be forced to become PauPer
When the coming session Of the Grand Lodge
was located at Cleveland, he felt & desire to
visit the city, the scene of his early labors in
: Odd Fellowship, and it now gives HIM greai
1 Measure 10 see his brethren.
