IOOF No 30

Rush Springs, OK, IOOF No. 30

Only some of the information from the original book is given. Other columns included whether the member was admitted by card from another lodge or was initiated, when he passed various degrees, when he withdrew, was suspended, expelled, or died, and what offices he held.

As you will notice, there were a great many soldiers among the members. This was during the period when the railroad delivered supplies for Fort Sill to Rush Springs. Supplies were then moved by wagon to the Fort. Many soldiers were stationed then at Rush Springs.

The book is now in the ______- House museum in Rush Springs. It had been in the possession of Gailen Worsham for a number of years before being donated to the museum.
