Switzerland County Odd Fellows Graves – 1885

The following article about Switzerland County, Indiana appeared in:
Vevay Reveille – 18 Jun 1885 – Page 4, Column 2

I. O. O. F.
Decorating Graves of Deceased Odd Fellows.

In accordance with a law of Indiana Grand Lodge I. O. O. F., last Monday the graves of deceased Odd Fellows were decorated. The day was appropriately observed in Vevay.

About 2 o’clock in the afternoon a procession, consisting of Naomi Encampment, Indiana and Phoenix Lodges, and Rebehah Degree Lodge, a number of visitors from neighboring lodges, conducted by L. F. Works, F. P. Dupraz, and F. J. Hollcroft, Marshalls, and headed by the Brooksburg Band, proceeded to the Baptist Church, which had been kindly tendered for the occasion. The rostrum of the handsome auditorium was profusely decorated with a great variety of flowers artistically arranged. The Ceremony commenced by singing the opening Ode, C. G. Boerner presiding at the organ, Rev. Harvey Harris, Chaplain, led in prayer. L. F. Works, Master of Ceremonies, then introduced Hon. J. Y. Allison, P. G., of Madison, who delivered an address suitable to the occasion. At the conclusion of the address, the procession was reformed, the band commenced playing the “Dead March,” and the march to the Cemetery commenced, but when the head of the column had proceeded up Main Street to Ferry, rain commenced falling which caused those composing the procession to seek refuge in Phoenix Lodge room. Rain detained them here for about an hour, but when it ceased, they proceeded to the cemetery and decorated the graves of the following persons:

  • R. F. Grisard
  • Dr. T. M. Danglade
  • John L. Danglade
  • Robert LeClerc
  • Charles Henderson
  • Louis Golay
  • H. C. Picket
  • Levi Woodey
  • Lawrence W. Gordon
  • Joseph Rutharford
  • J. R. Morerod
  • Julius P. Schenck
  • John L. Schenck
  • Jesse Teats
  • John J. P. Teats
  • George W. Teats
  • John E. Kincaid
  • Josiah Jackman
  • C. B. Rochat
  • Charles Rochat
  • Isaac Stevens
  • James S. Long
  • Ira Mendenhal
  • Philip Bettens
  • John Houston
  • Murret W. Tague
  • William Patton
  • Edward Patton
  • Geo. Kessler
  • Geo. P. Anderson
  • Robert Baird
  • Daniel Trafalet
  • Samuel Ward
  • Rebekah Degree
  • Mrs. Josiah Jackman
  • Mrs. M. W. Tague

Total number, 36.

As the records of old Vevay Lodge were not accessible to the committee appointed to prepare a list of names of Odd Fellows buried in Vevay cemetery, it is possible that names have been omitted in above list. A number of deceased Odd Fellows, who were members of Vevay Lodge, are buried in cemeteries in the country.

(Later.—County Superintendent granted use of room, on condition that a stage shall be erected, and that the room be not injured.)

J. W. Love, Trustee of Posey Township, reported to the Board that the floor of the Lower Grant’s Creek bridge is rotten and needs a new floor, and the same will cost more than $50. Wm. H.
