Roster of members of the Knights of Pythias, Niobe Lodge, No. 307 Waverly, OH sometime prior to 1928.
This lodge meant Thursday evenings at 7:00 p.m. October-March and 7:30 p.m. April-September. Jim Henry believes they meant upstairs in the Vallery building.
The Knights of Pythias is a fraternal
organization and secret society founded at Washington, DC, on 19
February 1864.
The Knights of Pythias was the first fraternal
organization to receive a charter under an act of the United States
Congress. It was founded by Justus H. Rathbone, who had been inspired by
a play by the Irish poet John Banim about the legend of Damon and
Pythias. This legend illustrates the ideals of loyalty, honor and
friendship that are central to the order.
The Order is founded upon naught but the purest
and sincerest motives. Its aim is to alleviate the suffering of a
brother, succor the unfortunate, zealously watch at the bedside of the
sick, soothe the pillow of the dying, perform the last sad rights at the
grave of a brother; offering consolation to the afflicted, and caring,
with all a brother's love, for the widow and orphan. Brotherly love and
charity are the Pillars on which it rests; Friendship and Truth the bond
and surety of its preservation.
The order had over two thousand lodges in the
United States and around the world, with a total membership of over
50,000 in 2003. At its peak, the Knights of Pythias had close to
one million members.
A member must be at least 18 years of age. He
cannot be a professional gambler, or involved with illegal drugs or
alcohol and he must have a belief in a Supreme Being.
