The Patrlareh Militant branch
was brought Into existence In 1HH5.
This branch carrle tho order into
the uniformed rank.
Odd Fellowship was the first In
stitution In America to place wo
man upon an equality with man In
a public manner. Tho guttling
hand and mind In this accomplish
ment was Schuyler Colfax, of In
dia na, later vice-president of the
United States. One of' his col
leagues whs Rutherford B. Hayes
of Ohio, afterward president of the
United States.
As early as ISTiO Mr. Colfax" be
gan an agitation for the female
'branch, hut it was not until lStiS
that It wan sponsored by the sov
erelKii grand loilpe. In IKXS, how
ever, the Ilebekah degree and
lodge was established as nn entity
unto itself.
This branch has grown rapidly
and Is second only to the subordi
nate In point of membership.
The objects of the Reheknh or
der are to supplement the work
of the subordinate and has been ,)
very i peful and helpful unit in
Advancing Odd Fellowship to a
station among the great fraternal
orders of the world. ft has n
membership of about 1.100.000.
The first Odd Fellow lodge In
stituted In Oregon was Chemekeia
Lodun No. 1. at Satem, December
6, IS52. A dispensation had been
granted In IM for the establish
ment of a lodge nt Oregon City,
but, through some mlsravrlage, the
j dispensation went astray and was
' used for Instituting a lodge at Hon-'

praise from all visitors.
