I have a short story about IOOF. I grew up in a small farming community in southern OK. It was founded in the late 1800's, but when the railroad bypassed it by 2 miles in 1900-1905-ish, going to another town, the community I grew up in died long before I was born. In the 1950's, a few old two story buildings were still standing in the old town square but dilapidated and abandoned. One of the buildings had a IOOF sign at street level to a stairway going to an upstairs room. I asked my dad what IOOF meant, he jokingly said "100 Fools". Later he told me what it really meant and that it was a lodge of sorts. He said when he grew up there (he was born there, at home, in 1918), that he prowled around in those empty buildings when he was young, meaning late 1920's, and in that upstairs IOOF room there was a casket with a skeleton in it. The casket wasn't in the room in the late 1950's when I looked around, but it still spooked me a bit, until they demo'd all the buildings in the early 60's.
