Feb 10, 1864. in Washington, D. c.. by Justus
Rathbone, of Ohio Mr.. Rathbone was at that
time clerk in one of the government offices,
and he conceived the idea of forming new
secret society that should be distinctiveIy
American in Its character and principles. After
he had studied out the plan he was joined by
four friends and the five banded themselves
together and organized the first lodge. The
principles of the order were American in every
particular and the constitution was modelled
as closely as possible after that of the United
States. The plan of organization commended
itself to the young men of the country and
they rallied around the standard in a manner
that must have been most gratifying to those
who had originated the plan. AS the years
go by the order continues to increase in pop
ularity and from membership of five II has
like 10000 lodges scattered all over the coun-
try.
