The origin of Oddfellowshlp it of
Roman soldiers in camp after theOrdar
of the lmwiites, during the~relgu of
Nero, the Roman emperor. who oom-
meneed his reign A. I). as, at which
time they were called fellow citieent.
Although‘they were organized before
that time. the name of Oddfellowa was
given to this order of men (A. D. 79) by
Titus Guitar. emperor of Rome. for
their singularity of notions. and frpm
their knowing each other by night at
well as by day. and for their fidelity to
him and their country. He not only
gave them the name of Oddfellowa, but
at the some time, as a pledge of . friend
ship. presented them with t dispensa-
tion, engraved on the arch of» Titus
Cesar ’he arlt of the covenant. the
golden candlesticks. the golden table
(weighing one great talent), the sun for
N. G... the moon and stars “M 0.,
a lamp for secretary, the lion for
guardian, the dove for warden, and the
emblems of mortality for the G. M.
It is very probable that the first
Oddfollows made their appearance in
North Wales about that time. as an
invasion was made by one of Titan
Cu-sar‘s generals (Agricola) on North
Wales. and shortly afterward on the
Isle of Mona. now called Anglesea. The
first account we have of the order
spreading into other countries is in the
fifth century. when it was established
in the Spanish dominions. under the
ltomish dispensation. and in the sixth
century by King Henry in Portugal.
In the twelfth century it was establish-
ed in France. and afterwards in England
by John DeNeville, attended by five
knights from France. who formed a
Loyal Grand Lodge in London. which
order remained until the reign of
George III, when a part of them began
to form themselves into auuion, and a
portion of them remain until this day.
()11 this account the lodges which
remain are very numerous throughout
the world, call themselves Loyal
Ancient independent OddicllOws, being
a portion of the original body.
The Grand United Order of Oddfel-
lows was first introduced in America,
among the people of African descent, in
“1843, at which time many of our race
were sold as barbarians and slaves. Most
of us were then uneducated in the arts of
civilization and the principles of Christ-
ianity, and were being reared in a hard
school With the courts of law barred
against us and no tribunal to go where
we would have been the recipients of
one iota of justice. no matter what Were
the crime or outrage that may have been
perpetrated upon ourselves. our wives or
our children,10rus in America justice
had not begun. The two-edged swerd
of justice was truly the single-edged
blade of Oppression, swayed by and in
the interest of one particular class who
had the good fortune to be born .unde1
more prosperous circumstances. For-
tunately for every member of our order
who has a drop of negro blood coursing
through his or her veins, there'was 11
class of men and women in this great
American country, some of whom were
in the Independent Order of Oddielloivs,
who believed in those broad principles
unnunciatied in the Declaration of Inde-
“that all men are created
equal," with certain inalienable rights.
They consequently rendered valuable
aid and assistmlco in securing for us the
blessings of Oddfellowship. It was
during this period of crime and oppresv
sion that the G. U. 0. of 0. E's came
ps :1 message of love and good will. The
committeeof management in England
heard our cry and opened their arms to
receive us, giving the negro the right
to promulgate the principles of
F. L. T. and throughout the world.
They recognized as as men and brethren
madeiu the image of God. We are in-
debted to Victoria Lodge, 445, located at
Liverpool, England. for our first dispen'
satiou. The facts attending the case
are these:
j “lu1842 the Philomatheau Literary
and Musical society, of New York city,
petitioned the Independent Order of
Oddfellows for ,a charter to upon a
lodge, I presume on the same principles
that labor organizations are governed in
the South today; that is to say, this
wouldbevthe “negro lodge.” Accept-
ing what the white brethren would
choose to give them they applied twice
to the Grand Lodge of New York state,
and were twice" refused. Ulysses B.
Vidal, Jamaal‘lelda and other gentle-
men were denied as a committee to
wait on the Grand Master to petition for
adi’panfiationtumake the Musical and
Literary moiety Philomatheuu Lodge,
of New York city. The first founder of
the order in America was Peter Ogden.
a black man. Following the son he
often visited Liverpool and in due sea-
son was initiated in Victoria Lodge, No.

England). In that lodge he found a
