		The Order of Odd Fellows is a benevolent and social society, sometimes classified as a friendly benefit society having initiatory rites and ceremonies, gradation or degrees in membership, and mystic signs of recognition and communication.

		The relief or sustenance of members, of their families and close relatives, of their widows and orphans in case of death, appears to have been the chief purpose of the organization of Odd Fellowship in its beginning.

	A Young Man's Benefit: The Independent Order of Odd Fellows and Sickness Insurance in the United States and Canada, ... (Site not responding. Last check: )
		At its peak in 1921 the Independent Order of Odd Fellows, by far the largest friendly society in North America, provided insurance against the loss of income due to illness for almost 1.9 million members in 16,000 lodges.
		In answer, the Emerys reject hypotheses that the IOOF could not compete with commercial insurers, that the introduction of government welfare plans removed the need for sickness insurance, and that the IOOF and its practices were not financially sound.
		Moreover, the appeal of the order to young men, whose risk of illness was lower than average, allowed lodges to accumulate reserves for a time when older members with higher claim rates were more common.
