bers I find but ten are still living
and only one is still a member of
the lodge and that one is R. K.
Dewey, who is the oldest Odd Fellow
belonging to the lodge, and
there are but very few, if any, in
the state older in the order. There
have been over 415 members initiated
in this lodge since its organi-
zation. The present membership is
110. There are now thirty-six past
grands belonging to the lodge. Our
membership is steadily increasing,
some six or ten having been initiated,
advanced and exalted since
the fire of October last.

F. E. Miek's Meat Market, North Second Street.
Although Clark Lodge is the
oldest working lodge in the state
she has never had a permanent
home until a few months ago. The
lodge has purchased the drug store
and grounds at the northwest corner
of the public square, and are having
it remodeled so as to use the second
story for a home for the old lodge.
The price paid was $7,000, which at
present advanced prices of real estate
within the city, is considered
a good bargain.
