On the Tth of March, 1846, a» event that was of nore impdrtance than it might have seemed Yo those interested in it, took place in the City of Kingston, Ovtario. Although | the skiss may have been gray and | the winds cold snd bleak as only March winds can be, perhaps few of the citizens knew what was taking place within thelr borders. We can now look back to that day as one of brightness because of the efforts of a few noble-hearted med. On that day the first Lodge of the Indepén- dent Order of Odd Fellows was in- stituted In Kingston. The names of some of the men who in the future were to play most {mportant parts {in the histojy and development of | Canada 'were to be found upon its | register. John A. MacDonald, after- | wards Right Hon. Sir John A. Mac- Donald, who was its first Noble | | Sry and Alex. Caidpbell, who be- | came Lieut. Governor of the Prov- | | ince of Ontario, were amongst its } members, This Lodge which was born under very favorable condi- | tions; having in ita membership many men of more than ordinary ability, was, however, soon tg come to an untimely end, for in 1849, a | little more than three years after it had been instituted, it ceased 10 function. eo Able The brilliant talents of its leaders | were, (perhaps for the good of the | country) but certainly mot for the benefit of the Lodge, too soon re- | cognized, and the men who might have made it a splendid success were drawn away to more alluring fields of activity. But the good seed which had been plantéd in the fertile soil of Kingston's young manhood, al- though doomed to lie dormant for many years; like the bulbs of some of our most beautiful flowers, \atter a season of inactivity, emerged again, and on April 14th, 1870, an- other Lodge was instituted, bearing the name and number of Prince Ar- thur Lodge, No. 59. This name was changed to Kingston Lodge, No. 59, | one year later. Of the men Who| were responsible for the organization of the new ledge, none NOW remain. All have passed on to the Grand Lodge above. They were then, and for years afterwards, well-known and active citizens of our city. Simon Oberndortfer, 8. A. Cohen, R. R. Pat- terson, G. S. Lee and B. Fagan, were the charter members. On the night of institution two candidates were initiated. They were Dr. Fite Fow- jer,'for many years a leading doctor of medicine, and closely connected with. the development of medical education in our University, and George Lee, a pianoforte maker, for many years associated with the plano making business in Kingston. The growth of the Order was steady and substantial, Its work of relief and the care and attention | given to its unfortunate members | were so well recognized that by the end of 1874 its membership had in-} creased to 116. Odd Fellows Relief. On the = sixteenth day of _ April, 1875, an application was made to) Mr. J. J. Burrows, county judge, for | a Certificate of Incorporation or a Society to. be known as the "Odd Fellows' Relief Association ot Can- | ada," the names appearing on the petition being Fite Fowler, Simon {D.
