The Odd Fellows also seemed to have cemeteries in various states, maybe all
states. I know there are several in Northumberland County, PA that have
been transcribed and are available online. Maybe others have been as well.

I ran across about 50 cases of Odd Fellow books, ledgers, papers, etc at a
used book store going out of business. I purchased what I could, but just
couldn't swing the entire lot. I inquired at the IA IOOF head quarters and
the secretary there was less than helpful. She said that the lodges are
encouraged to donate the papers to a local historical society (which
obviously didn't happen in this instance), and she doesn't have room for
anymore there. She even tosses stuff out occasionally to make room for the
state headquarters records. So needless to say some records are lost forever
when the the state organization only full-time employee looks at the records
as so much busted plumbing. Someday I'll transcribe what I was able to
rescue to my website ( www.chaseyourtale.com ) not that I am lacking for
projects.
