ORDER OF ODD FELLOWS HAS BEEN DISTRICT INSTITUTION
CENTURY OF ACTIVITIES HERE
Valuable Service Given by Lodges Time of Yellow Fever
Epidemic in l832-Dedication of Hall of
Fraternity Seventh Street.

"Old Masonic Hail." which probably
meant Union Lodge Hall, which stood
on the west side Of Eleventh street
between c street and Pennsylvania
avenue, where now stands the old
Post ONCE Department building. This
old lodge hall served many purposes
during its existence, being at one
time the home of the city govern
ment, where the city council met.
One of Washington's early free Ii
braries was housed here and it was
at one time a school house. It was
an unpretentious frame building, two
stories high, with steps running up
the outside.
1t was during the Summer Of this
year that the city was visited with an
epidemic of yellow fever and the
lodge appointed two members to serve
in each of the five wards of the city at
that time and Drs. Davis and Bor-
rows, members Of the order, volun-
teered their services. Two members
of the lodge, William Ritchey and
R. T. Washington, died from the dis
ease. Those who died from the fever
were buried in the square bounded by
w street, Florida avenue, Eleventh
and Twelfth streets northwest.
In 1888, the lodge is said to have
moved into a new lodge room in the
house of Mr.. Gadsby, on C street,
which was leased for term Of seven
years. Washington Lodge, No. 6, /.
o. o. F., also leased this room from
Central Lodge.
In less than year after Central
Lodge was first chartered, a petition
was forwarded to the Grand Lodge
of the United States" as the supreme
body of the order seems to have been
called, praying for a charter for a
grand lodge for the District of CO.
lumbia. This request was signed by
Thomas M. Albeit and John Wells,
jr.. of Lodge No. l and Robert Boyd.
James Gittys and James Ashton of
Lodge No. 2. and on September 20,

ington and there instituted the new
lodge and installed the following Off
GERS: Noble grand, Thomas M. Alb
bett; vice grand, Thomas Smith; sec
retary, John N. Moulder; warden,
Boyd, and the other officers, Davis,
Spencer, Stelle. John Wills, jr.; Hur-
ley, A. L. McIntire and Samuel
Knapp.
The record also shows that, upon
the same evening, Messrs. Wells,
Spencer. Davis, Stelle, Hurley, Nc
Intire, Moulder, Douglass, Elvans and
Milburn received the first degree and
that Mr.. Farrar deposited his card.
The minutes further disclose that
John Wells, jr., was appointed chair
man of a committee to draft a set
of general laws for the government of
the lodge, and that MeSsrS. Moulder,
Wells and McIntire were directed to
draw up a set of bylaws. Tuesday
Of each week at pm. was the day
and the hour of meeting. The dues
were 1912 cents a week.
Milburn's tavern, where Central
Lodge and the order in the District
of Columbia had its birth according
to the city directory. was then on the
south side of street near Thirteenth
street. Soon afterward, however, on
January 8, 1928, the lodge bega. hold
ing its meetings in the City Hall. when
MeSSrs. Edes, King, ElvanS and Doug
lass applied for withdrawal cards for
the purpose of forming Georgetown
Lodge, No. 2.
On June 2, 1929, Central Lodge
held its last meeting in the City Hall,
when it moved to three-story brick
house on Eighth street northwest, the
second one north of Pennsylvania
avenue. Here it agreed to pay $50
a year for the first year and $40
year thereafter. But this was period
of depression for secret organiza-
tions and by December 27, 1880, the
lodge surrendered its charter, because
it could not secure quorum of at
tendance at its meetings. A little
more than year later, however,
Peter Callan, chairman: John Doug
lass, John A. Brightwell, Uriah Mad
dox, John C. Rodgers, Thomas Stelle,
George limbaugh, w. w. Keyworth
and George M. Davis, secretary, met
for the purpose of petitioning for a
new lodge and Central Lodge, No. l.
its earlier name-was decided upon.
Accordingly, the Grand Lodge of the
District of Columbia reissued to Cen
trail Lodge charter as requested and
the first meeting was held on Feb
ruary 8, 1882, a little over a year
after it had surrendered its charter.
Under its reorganization, P. Callan
became the noble grand; r. r. Wash
ington, vice grand; Thomas Stelie,
secretary, and John Douglass, treas
urer. Kerr, R. T. Washington and
Shields were of the charter members.
The bylaws of old Central Lodge
were adopted, the same seal was Sc
lected. Thursday designated as the
day Of meeting and the place was

Frog Point a Memory.

THE glory of Frog Point has gone
and now this once-thriving town
has dwindled to a little settlement Of
about 80 people with even the name Of
the town in the Limbo, replaced by the
less rural Belmont.
Frog Point was a metropolis In
North Dakota so years ago, a meeting
place for all manner Of transients.
many of whom played big part in the
development of the West and North
west, yet until now it has had no
written history.
The American Guide Project Of the
w. P. A. has sent writer to learn Of
the town which was so important in
its way that British travellers came to
visit it, considering it second only TO
Liverpool as commercial city.
Frog Point derived its name from
the experience of q group of soldiers
who made camp on its site.
When evening came, and the horses
were led to water, 50 thick were the
frogs on the shore. it was almost i'm
possible to reach water without STEP
ping on them. In the morning, Just
before leaving, some of the soldiers
placed a sign, naming the place Frog
Point, and that name stuck through
the years.
During the period of low water,
when navigation on the Red River was
seriously hampered, Frog Point gained
its prominence. Water navigation
ended at that town and the transfer
of freight from overland hauling to
the boats and vice versa took place.
One of the boats employed in haul.
ing cargo from Frog Point, it is in
teresting to note, was owned in part
by James j. Hill, the empire builder,
who incidentally fell through the ice
there and was nearly drowned.
Frog Point never had any impressive
dwellings. Neither did it have q per-
manent citizenry. Mostly the dwell
ings were frame shacks and the hotels
were Of a design far from impressive.
In time, the improvement Of trans
portation facilities served to take from
Frog Point its one excuse for exist
ence and since that time it has
dwindled until now only few families
live among the memories Of q once
exceedingly active frontier town.

1928, the charter was granted. Ac-
cordingly, on November "a following,
Grand Sire Thomas Wldey and other
officers of the Sovereign Grand
Lodge came to Washington and in
stalled the following grand officers:
Thomas M. Albeit, grand master;
James Gettys, deputy grand master:
John Wells, jr., grand secretary. Rob-
ert Boyd, grand warden: James Ash
ton and Francis King. In Septem-
ber, 1888, when Grand Sire Wildey
resigned his Office, James Gettys of
this city was appointed his successor
and was, therefore, the second one to
hold this high Office.
Except for a lodge or two dropping
out now and then, only to be replaced
by others, the Odd Fellows contin-
ued to increase in numbers, and by
the middle 40s it was decided to erect
its own hall, which was completed in
1886, and the National Intelligencer
of Friday, May 20, of that year carries
good account of the dedicatory ex-
ercises. which in part follows:
1T is due to this highly respectable
and numerous fraternity that more
Evening star., 1936-03-29

annals for 1845, gives an idea of its
size, which was evidently large. He
says:
THE Odd Fellows Society has
erected in Seventh street between Z
and E streets a lofty and extensive
hall. three stories high. The lower
story is divided into two stories, 90
feet deep; the second story is for as
semblies. ETC., full depth, with side
rooms detached, and the upper story
for the use of the society"
Between the years 1872 and 1875
this building was remodeled, and, since
it was unoccupied much of that time
it might well be assumed that 1t was
almost entirely reconstructed Indeed,
the improvements cost $50, ,293, which
was quite ample at that time to erect
good-sized building, and, besides this,
the furniture and draperies cost Sc, ,266
additional. Since this building re-
mained standing until 1917, when II
gave way to the present Odd Fellows
Hall, on Seventh street between D
and E streets, many undoubtedly re-
call its appearance. However, an &C
count printed in 1881 gives this de-
scription:
1T has a granite base and pressed
brick superstructure. with galvanized
iron pilasters, jambs, caps and cornlce,
and is surmounted by three domes
that in the center raised above the
others. The grand-floor is occupied
by stores. The stairway at the main
entrance leads to the main hall, on the
second floor. The hall is 100 by 40 feet
and 22-feet high. and fitted with a
stage Of 81 feet additional at the z.
end. 1t is designed principally for
balls, concerts and lectures. Adjoining
are ladies retiring and gentlemen s
cloak rooms. The third floor contains
two lodge and one encampment rooms.
The library, on the same floor, for the
use of members of the order and their
families, contains a fine collection Of
books"
1t is interesting to look back for
contractors and mechanics who helped
to build this well-known hall, or who
furnished material for its construction.
No doubt they were all, or nearly all,
Washingtonians, and many. quite like
ly, still have relatives living here.
