 UF-IOOF Ingrain Woven Carpet with Odd Fellows Symbols
The IOOF was officially founded in Baltimore in 1819 with the charge to “visit the sick, relieve the distressed, bury the dead and educate the orphan”.
Among symbols of the Rebekahs specifically are the beehive, representing the results of a united effort; the dove, representing living peaceably; and the moon and seven stars, representing the value of regularity in work.
However, one may speculate that the prominent use of the broken column on this piece is related to the death of the man regarded to be the founder of the Rebekahs, politician Schuyler Colfax, in 1885.
