These are the by-laws and membership register for the Odd Fellows lodge at Cuba in Craw­ford County, Missouri, beginning with the organization of the lodge on 21 June 1947.

 

Cuba Lodge No. 887 was instituted and its by-laws adopted on 21 June 1947.  The Grand Warden of Missouri approved the by-laws on 2 January 1948.  Two letters attached to the by-laws indicate that the by-laws were revised in 1955 to authorize different meeting nights.

 

The register begins with the names of twenty-one charter members admitted to the lodge by transfer and initiation on 21 June 1947.  The information for each member includes the name, date and method of admission, age, occupation, dates of official degrees and ranks, and miscellaneous remarks.  There are records for fifty members through 19 December 1952.
