Appeal to Odd Fellows.
The following appeal is made by the
Odd Fellows:
MEMrHls, TKNS., September 0, 1870.
To he Independent Order Of Odd Fsllous,
Greeting:
The Odd Fellows' Special Relief Com.
mittee, Of Memphis, are again forced to
the necessity OF appealing to the Brother
hood at large for material aid. An Of the
available funds OF five Lodges and two
Encampments have been expended in
sending many Of their brethren and fami-
lies to places OF safety, in nursing and pro.
viding for the sick, and burying the dead.
Business is suspended, wages stopped,
and sickness and death are making sad
havoc in their midst. This appeal is made
with the greatest reluctance, in view OF
the generous outpouring OF substantial aid
which met similar appeals in 1873 and
1873, but with sickness and distress upon
every hand, with walls Of sorrow and
cries for help coming up continually, their
treasury exhausted, and sud prospect OF
the continuance Of the dreaded scourge OF
yellow fever for period OF at least two
months to come, their only resource is an
appeal for help from our more fortunate
brethren who are spared such dire Gala
mites as now sc0utges this stricken city.
All contributions should be sent to Mar.
Gus Jones, Grand Patriarch OF the State
and President Of the Special Relief Com.
mittee, l. 0. Q. F., Memphis, Tenn.
