THE INDEPENDENT ORDER OF ODD FELLOWS.



    The Odd Fellows of Faulkton in the early eighties organized a lodge of

considerable size which continued until about 1893, when owing to the hard

times, and there being no hall in the town that was suitable to hold meetings,

which they could procure, they surrendered their charter. This lodge was. known

as Nixon River Lodge.



    On May the 2nd, 1906, Faulkton Lodge No. 169, I. O. O. F. was organized with

a good membership and is now considered a good strong working lodge.



    There is also a lodge at Chelsea, South Dakota, of which I am unable to give

the name and number. Also at Cresbard where New Empire Lodge was organized on

April the 15th, 1909. These two lodges are located in good thriving towns, along

the line of the M. & St. L. railroad, and in a portion of the county that is

well populated and in one of the finest agricultural sections of South Dakota,

and are destined to become strong and influential organizations.
