Oldest Living Odd Fellow Claim Claimed by Captain Thomas C Williams
The quest for the oldest living Odd Fellow names Captain Thomas C Williams of Oakland California as the holder of the title. He is within a year of ninety and joined Odd Fellowship in Detroit in 1824 at age eighteen. He traveled to California in 1849 during the gold rush and joined California’s first Odd Fellows lodge, later remaining a longtime member. The note ends with a quip about a musician’s response to a question and mentions Westminster Abbey offering a portrait slab or medal for Professor Huxley.
