A society of the Ancient and Honorable Loyal Odd Fellows Avas formed aboutthe beginning of the present century, and from its fantastic and convivial char-acter was probably originated as a burlesque on the Free Masons; but in 1813,some of the brotherhood at Manchester, England, conceived a plan for the con-tinuance of the order on noble and lasting principles—prompt attentiance and dis-bursement of funds to a sick brother, administrations to the needs of the widowsand education of the orphans—fellowship, love and truth. Ajjril 26, 1819, ThomasWilder, of Manchester, and four others, organized the first lodge of the Indepen-dent Order of Odd Fellows in the United States at Baltimore, Md., naming itWashington Lodge, No. 1. Eleven months later a second lodge was located atBoston, and December 26, 1821, the third society was organized at Sovereign Grand Lodge of America
