1. Title: "United in Brotherhood: The National Progressive Order of Odd Fellows, Beneficial Society (circa 1878)" The National Progressive Order of Odd Fellows, Beneficial Society, an intriguing and historic fraternal organization, is depicted in this photograph from the late 19th century. Established in the United States around 1878, this society was a branch of the larger Odd Fellows movement, which originated in Europe in the late 18th century. The National Progressive Order of Odd Fellows, Beneficial Society was dedicated to the principles of friendship, love, truth, and service. Members, known as "Odd Fellows," formed local lodges to provide mutual support and assistance to one another, fostering a sense of community and camaraderie. The organization's name, "Beneficial," reflects its focus on charitable work and benevolence. In this photograph, a group of Odd Fellows, dressed in their distinctive regalia, gather together in a room adorned with symbols of their order. The brothers wear robes, collars, and sashes, each bearing the emblem of the three links, representing the bonds of friendship, love, and truth. The room is filled with various symbols and artifacts, including a large, ornate mirror, a square and compass, and a skull and crossbones – all significant elements of Odd Fellows' iconography. The National Progressive Order of Odd Fellows, Beneficial Society played a vital role in American society during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. They provided financial assistance, social support, and a sense of belonging to their members, as well as contributing to various charitable causes. This photograph offers a glimpse into the rich history of this unique and enduring fraternal organization.
