This is the Roll of Officers, 1946-1972, of Odd Fellows Lodge No. 654 at Owensville in Gasconade County, Missouri, earlier known as Red Bird Lodge.  Also included in the collection are the Secretary’s Cash Book and Roll of Officers of Crawford Lodge No. 840 for 1914-1935.  The location of Crawford Lodge No. 840 is not known, but presumably it was in Crawford County, Missouri.

 

This collection contains records of two Odd Fellows lodges: No. 654, which began in Red Bird and relocated to Owensville; and Crawford Lodge No. 840, for which no location is noted.  The records for Crawford Lodge (1914-1935) are earlier than those for Red Bird/Owensville Lodge (1946-1972).  Comparison of the two reveals no apparent shared lineage between the two lodges, and it is not known why the records of Red Bird/Owensville were entered in an earlier re­cord book for Crawford Lodge.
