Title A name given to the resource Independent Order of Odd Fellows Collection Subject The topic of the resource Independent Order of Odd Fellows Orphans Orphanages Illinois--Lincoln Independent Order of Odd Fellows. Grand Lodge of Illinois Philanthropists Charities Fraternal organizations Description An account of the resource The Independent Order of Odd Fellows is a fraternal organization devoted to promoting personal and social development. The organization focuses on services for children and the elderly through a variety of projects including scholarships, grant programs, and running orphanages and senior homes in countries throughout the world.  The Independent Order of Odd Fellows, founded in 1819 in Baltimore, Maryland, initially operated as part of the British Order of Odd Fellows. In 1842 the American lodges broke away from the British lodges to form their own governance system. As a result American lodges formed in cities throughout the country. African American lodges began in 1842, however these lodges remained under the British governance system. The women's branch, known as the Daughters of Rebekah, began in 1851 under the encouragement of future Vice President Schuyler Colfax. The organization experienced a sizeable drop in membership and resources during the Civil War, but rebounded in the years after the war. Photographs in this collection include images of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows Administration Building and West Cottage in Lincoln, Illinois, graduating students, and construction on the organization's lodge in Rochelle, Illinois.

Their son, John Rawalt, Jr., was born in Pennsylvania in 1780, married Elizabeth Yocum Snider in 1800, and they had nine children including a son, Jonas.  Jonas Rawalt settled in Fulton County, Illinois in 1829, and in 1836 was elected to the Illinois legislature, where he served two terms. In the Civil War, Jonas served as a major in the 7th Illinois Cavalry, but resigned due to ill health.

Rawalt served as president of the National Federation of Business and Professional Women’s Clubs from 1954-1956, and as national president of both the Federal Bar Association and the National Association of Women Lawyers. Following her retirement, she began a second career as an activist for women’s rights.

General Assembly. House of Representatives Illinois--Fulton County Rawalt, Milton, 1843-1928 Description An account of the resource The Rawalt family descended from Revolutionary War soldier John Rawalt and his wife Ann McMahon, who lived in New York and Pennsylvania. Their son, John Rawalt, Jr., was born in Pennsylvania in 1780, married Elizabeth Yocum Snider in 1800, and they had nine children including a son, Jonas.  Jonas Rawalt settled in Fulton County, Illinois in 1829, and in 1836 was elected to the Illinois legislature, where he served two terms. In the Civil War, Jonas served as a major in the 7th Illinois Cavalry, but resigned due to ill health. Three of his sons also served: Enoch, in the 8th Illinois Cavalry, Company F; Benjamin, in the Minnesota Volunteers; and John, in the 51st Illinois Infantry, Company I, who died on 9 October 1865 at Memphis, Tennessee, after being mustered out.
