The Odd Fellows lodge at Newburg was organized about 1923.  Newburg was a division point on the St. Louis-San Francisco Railway.   Most of the members and officers of the lodge were probably railroad employees, hence the name, “Frisco.”  During the period covered by the attendance roll, the presiding officers (i.e., “Noble Grands,”) were  N. A. Borders, W. J. Cribbs, H. A. Davis, Ellis Grayson, C. E. Johnston, Charles Ormsby, Elmer Hudgens, W. T. Atchison, War­ren Murrell, O. E. Drown, , and R. C. Scott.  Other well-known citizens of Newburg who filled posts in the lodge were Nathan Henson, H. W. Fuller, and Albert McDonald.
