- Buford, ca. 1900. Members of the Odd Fellows organization at their dinner meeting.
Goals and aims of the Odd Fellows organization include Friendship, Love, and Truth. History of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows Odd Fellowship began in England in the 1700's. There are several explanations given for the unusual name, the most common one being: "That in those days it was so unusual and extraordinary for the common laboring man to band together and form a fraternity for social unity, fellowship and mutual help that they were known as 'peculiar' or 'odd' and so were called 'Odd Fellows'." Chapters of this organization continue to function. - External Identifiers:
