There are Oddfellows Halls all over the Gold Rush area of California, but I've never actually came across anyone who belonged to the IOOF. Well, the Georgian group R.E.M. has a song about Oddfellows. Not what we're talking about, but I thought somebody might be interested.
-Joe in Colfax, California-


Oddfellows Local 151
(As Recorded by R.E.M.)
   
Oddfellows local 151 behind the firehouse
Where Peewee sits to prove a sage to teach
Peewee gathered up his proof
Reached up and scratched his head
Fell down and hit the ground again

Firehouse. Firehouse.

Why do the heathens rage behind the firehouse
Where Peewee sits upon the wall to preach?
This boy and girl that gather pearls
Of wisdom falling from his mouth
Wash off the blood, wash off the rum

Firehouse. Firehouse.

Oddfellows local 151 behind the firehouse
Where Peewee sits upon the wall to preach.
This boy and girl that gather pearls
Of wisdom falling from his mouth
Wash off the blood, wash off the 151.

Firehouse. Firehouse.
Firehouse. Firehouse.
