 GREETING 
 
 
 N extending a cordial greeting to the 
 \| fifty-sixth annual session of the Grand 
 
 Lodge of the Independent Order of 
 Odd Fellows, which assembles in the 
 Capital City of the State in response 
 to the earnest invitation extended one year ago by 
 the Mayor, the City Council, the Chamber of Com- 
 merce and the Odd Fellows of Sacramento, it may 
 not be inappropriate to briefly relate early inci- 
 dents which linked the name of Sacramento with 
 the history of the three-link fraternity on the 
 Pacific Coast. 
 
 There is abundant evidence that there were 
 quite a number of Odd Fellows in California prior 
 to the arrival of even the vanguard of the gold- 
 seekers, and at least one well authenticated at- 
 tempt was made to plant the banner of the frater- 
 nity near the Golden Gate a year before the 
 discovery of gold at Coloma. 
 
 On December 4, 1847, an advertisement, signed 
 "Many Odd Fellows," appeared in the California 
 Star, a pioneer newspaper of San Francisco, say- 
 ing, "The friends of the Independent Order of 
 Odd Fellows are respectfully invited to attend a 
 meeting of the Order on Tuesday evening next, at 
 the Portsmouth House." 
 
 In response to that call, about a dozen Odd 
 Fellows, who had learned the lessons of the fra- 
 ternity in the Eastern States, assembled at the 
 time and place suggested, and, although they had 
 no charter or dispensation from the Grand Lodge 
 of the United States, authorizing them so to do, 
 they proceeded to organize a lodge and engage in 
 the beneficent and charitable work of Odd Fellow- 
 ship. Past Grand Master Charles N. Fox, in an 
 article written for the "Official History of Odd 
 Fellowship," says: 
 
 "There is no positive proof that this lodge 
 ever attempted to initiate or confer degrees, but it 
 provided itself with books and regalia, and en-

 mines came, in 1848, when the church became 
 desolate, schools were broken up, the newspapers 
 ceased their issues, the Odd Fellows made a bon- 
 fire of their books and papers, so that they should 
 not fall into improper hands, stored their regalia, 
 where it was afterward destroyed by one of those 
 desolating fires which swept away the town at 
 frequent intervals during those days — and they, 
 too, joined in the hegira to the mountains in 
 search of gold." 
 
 The same authority states that in the latter 
 
JOHN E. RAKER, Deputy Grand Master 
 
 part of 1848 another lodge was instituted, "and 
 upon this was conferred the first dispensation 
 enjoyed by any fraternal association in California. 
 But this dispensation was irregular, and the lodge 
 was not properly instituted." Its records having 
 also been destroyed by fire, little is known con- 
 cerning its membership or work. 
 
 However, the first effective work of great 
 moment accomplished by Odd Fellows, as such, in 
 California, was at Sacramento. To give a correct 
 idea of the condition then existing in what is now 
 the Capital of the State, and which necessitated 
 prompt and energetic action, we quote the follow- 
 ing from the graphic pen of Bro. John F. Morse, 
 who was Grand Master of the jurisdiction in 
 1853-4: 
 
 "From the first of August, 1849, tne deluging 
 tides of immigration began to roll into the city of 
 San Francisco their hundreds and thousands daily; 
 not men made robust and hearty by a comfortable 
 sea voyage, but poor, miserable beings, so famished 
 
 and filthy, so saturated by scorbutic diseases, so 
 depressed and despondent in spirit as to make 
 them the easy prey of disease and death, when 
 they had expected naught but health and fortune. 
 Thus did the mining adventurers pour into San 
 Francisco, nine-tenths of whom for a few months 
 took immediate passage for Sacramento. 
 
 "However debilitated they might be, however 
 penniless and destitute, this city, the great focus 
 of mining news, the nearest trading point for the 
 mines situated upon a navigable stream, was the 
 only place that men could think of stopping at for 
 recuperative purposes. Hence, from Cape Horn, 
 from all the Isthmian routes, from Asiatic seaports 
 and from the islands of the Pacific, men of the 
 most impoverished health were converging at 
 Sacramento. 
 
 "But these were not the only sources of diffi- 
 culty to Sacramento in 1849. At the same time 
 that the scurvy-ridden subjects of the ocean began 
 to concentrate among us, there was another more 
 terrible train of scorbutic sufferers coming in from 
 the overland roads, so exhausted in strength and 
 so worn out with the calamities of the journey as 
 to be but barely able to reach the Valley City. 
 
 " From these sources, Sacramento became a 
 very lazar house of disease, suffering and death. 
 It must be remembered that in proportion as these 
 scenes began to accumulate, just in such propor- 
 tion did men seem to grow indifferent to the 
 appeals of suffering and the dictates of benevo- 
 lence. The more urgent and importunate the 
 miseries and beseeching cries of the sick and 
 destitute, the more obdurate, despotic and terrible 
 became the reign of cupidity. Everything seemed 
 vocal with the assurance that men came to Califor- 
 nia to make money, not to devote themselves to a 
 useless waste of time in procuring bread and 
 raiment for the dependent, in watching over and 
 taking care of the sick, or in the burying of the 
 dead. * * * The first and most effective 
 relief, the first organized efforts to 'visit the sick, 
 relieve the distressed and bury the dead' were 
 made by the Fraternity of Odd Fellows. The first 
 lights of effective charity that gleamed upon the 
 despairing visions of hundreds of the sick and 
 dying, ascended from the 'altar fires' of this 
 
glorious brotherhood, which the presiding genius 
 of the institution had kindled." 
 
 On the morning of August 20, 1849, General A. 
 M. Winn, formerly of Tennessee, but then a lead- 
 ing business man of the new city, had the follow- 
 ing notice printed in handbill form and scattered 
 throughout the town: 
 
 " I. O. O. F — The Odd Fellows of Sacramento 
 City will meet at the store of Winn, Baker & 
 McGhee, on Third street, between J and K, this 
 evening, August 20th, at 8 o'clock." 
 
 That evening the members of the Order met, 
 in accordance with the notice, and were called to 
 order by B. F. Hastings of Warren Lodge, No. 3, 
 Vicksburg, Miss., and, on motion, Gen. A. M. 
 Winn was called to the chair, and he explained 
 the objects of the meeting as follows: 
 
 "Brothers: You are assembled under most 
 extraordinary circumstances — we have not the 
 power to work as a lodge, and yet the immense 
 amount of suffering among the members of the 
 Order requires our most active benevolence in 
 carrying out the great principles taught us at the 
 altar of Odd Fellowship. We have met for the 
 purpose of finding out who of our citizens are 
 Odd Fellows, and to form an association for the 
 relief of sick and distressed brothers. 
 
 "A dreadful calamity has overtaken us — hun- 
 dreds are lying sick, rolled in their filthy blankets, 
 without wife, children or friends to nurse them 
 while sick, or bury them when dead. We who 
 have health and means should be liberal to those 
 in distress, as long as in our power. Let us do all 
 we can, without a violation of the principles of 
 the Order " 
 
 Daniel McClaren was chosen Secretary, and B. 
 F. Hastings offered the following resolutions, 
 which were unanimously adopted: 
 
 "Resolved, That we will form an Association of 
 Odd Fellows in Sacramento City, for the relief of 
 the distressed members of the Order. 
 
 "Resolved, That a committee of three be ap- 
 pointed to draft rules and regulations for our 
 government. 
 
 "Resolved, That a Committee of Relief be now 
 appointed, whose duty it shall be to collect by 
 voluntary contributions from members of the Order 
 
 an amount sufficient to relieve the distressed and 
 bury the dead, until further provisions are made 
 by the Association." 
 
 The Chair appointed as Committee on Rules 
 and Regulations, Bros. B. F. Hastings, Daniel 
 McLaren and Joseph C. Derby, and, on motion, 
 the Chair was added to the committee. 
 
 On the Relief Committee the Chair appointed 
 E. K. Gallup, Dennis Rideout, Isaac H. Norris, 
 Samuel McNulty and James B. Cunningham. 
 
 The meeting then adjourned till the 24th of 
 August at"8 p. m., when the members of the Order 
 met pursuant to adjournment, A. M. Winn in the 
 Chair. The Committee on Constitution, Rules 
 and Regulations reported the following: 
 
 CONSTITUTION. 
 
 1st. The name shall be the "Sacramento Odd 
 Fellows Association." 
 
 2d. Its objects, to relieve the distressed and 
 bury the dead. 
 
 3d. Its officers shall be a President, Vice- 
 
 GROVF, L. JOHNSON, Grand Warden 
 
H. D. RICHARDSON, Grand Secretary 
 
 President, Secretary and Treasurer, who shall 
 hold their offices one year and until their suc- 
 cessors are elected, and shall perform the duties 
 incident to their offices, as the Association may 
 require. 
 
 The by-laws adopted at that time have been 
 lost — were probably destroyed in the floods or 
 fires that devastated the city in the early days, 
 but the following record of the transactions of 
 the meeting found its way into print in 1856: 
 
 "On motion, the Constitution and By-Laws 
 were adopted, and the names of the following per- 
 sons were registered as members of the Association : 
 A. M. Winn, B. F. Hastings, Daniel McLaren, E. 
 Meconekin, James A. Myer, Henry E. Robinson, 
 Israel S. Chase, John Seymour, James A. Cunning- 
 ham, J. Brown, Thos. Banister, M. E. Hedrick, 
 John Taylor, O. C. Osborne, Joseph B. Adams, 
 Samuel Smith, Ephraim Martin, Samuel McNulty, 
 J. C. Stambaugh, W. F. Dietz, H. R. Bradway, E. 
 S. Elsworth, James A. Reed, John H. Flender, A.

 Hammet, R. G. Slaughter, C. F. Hart, Gilbert L. 
 Sees, Henry Bates, J. O. Derby, Isaac N. Norris, 
 H.'S. Merrill, Wm. Glaskin, Edward E Hunter. 
 
 On motion, the Association proceeded to elect 
 officers, which resulted as follows: A. M. Winn, 
 Presideni; Edward E. Hunter, Vice-President; 
 Daniel McLaren, Secretary; E. K. Gallup, Treas- 
 urer. 
 
 The Committee on Relief appointed at the 
 former meeting was continued. 
 
 Several members of the Order were reported 
 sick and committees were appointed to attend 
 them. The Committee on Relief was directed to 
 report all cases of sickness or distress to the 
 President. 
 
 The President was vested with full power to 
 do whatever he deemed necessary for the good of 
 the Association or the members of the Order. 
 The Secretary was directed to receive all moneys 
 and pay the same to the Treasurer. The Treas- 
 urer was directed to receive all moneys from the 
 Secretary and disburse the same on the warrant of 
 the President, countersigned and numbered by 
 the Secretary. 
 
 The admission fee was fixed at $5.00. 
 
 It was ordered that the regular meetings should 
 be held every Friday evening at the President's 
 office, on Third street, between J and K. 
 
 The foregoing are the only authenticated pro- 
 ceedings of this self-sacrificing and noble band of 
 brothers that has been handed down to us, the 
 record book having been lost in the flood of Jan- 
 uary, 1850. But from chronicles and traditions of 
 the time it is learned that the membership per- 
 formed with fidelity their self-assumed labors of 
 love and contributed with unstinted hand the 
 means necessary to bear the heavy expense en- 
 tailed. The Association met regularly and the 
 cases of sickness, distress and penury multiplied 
 until it became necessary to add every member of 
 the Association to the Relief Committee; their 
 
labors were incessant; they frequently became ill 
 from over-exertion, and some contracted fatal con- 
 tagion from brothers whose suffering they sought 
 to alleviate. Reports were made to the President 
 day and night, and he proved a most worthy 
 executive of as noble a band of Odd Fellows as 
 ever took the obligations of the fraternity. Many 
 
 would thrill the heart of every lover of humanity, 
 an immense and immeasurable amount of relief 
 was dispensed. But this was not sufficient to dis- 
 sipate the increasing calamity. Men still sickened 
 and died without assistance; men were still buried 
 in the filth of an unattended sickness, and fre- 
 quently without the benefit of being sewed up in 
 
 I. O. O. F. Temple owned exclusively by the Odd Fellows of Sacramento 
 
 of them left their indelible impress upon the 
 political, educational and industrial history of the 
 State. 
 
 Past Grand Master Morse, writing of the work 
 accomplished by those pioneer Odd Fellows, said: 
 
 "From this Association, the history of which 
 
 a blanket for interment. Rough pine coffins 
 ranged from $60.00 to $150.00, and it was not to be 
 expected that in the midst of such distress and 
 poverty coffins could always be procured. This 
 Association spent thousands of dollars for coffins 
 alone, and when General Winn became the execu- 
 
tive officer of the city government, no man was 
 refused a coffin burial." 
 
 This Association maintained its existence and 
 continued to "visit the sick, relieve the distressed 
 and bury the dead" until the organization of Sac- 
 ramento Lodge, No. 2, which was instituted on ! 
 January 28, 1851, by Past Grand James Smiley, 
 acting as Deputy Grand Sire. 
 
 Since that time there have been instituted in 
 Sacramento City five more lodges — Eureka, No. 4; ; 
 El Dorado, No. 8; Capitol, No. 87; Schiller, No.
