Odd Fellows inquiry echoes with suspect questions
A stern woman confronts a young man claiming to be an Odd Fellow asking if his lodge acts as an inside watch, how often meetings occur, and whether a wife would be barred from Becky principles. The exchange includes mock vows and secret terms, ending with her warning and exit to purchase pickles and a stove lifter. The piece shifts to obituary notes for Joseph Myers, a longtime Seneca resident and church leader, detailing his birth in 1838, marriage to Missouri Graham, move from Indiana to Kansas, service in United Brethren and Methodist churches, role as a song leader, and his death in 1898, leaving a widow and six children.
