Just to let you know....I.O.O.F. stands for the Independent Order of Odd
Fellows established in 1819 by members of the United Order of Odd Fellows in
England. The address of the Sovereign Grand Lodge, I.O.O. F. is 422 N.
Trade St., Winston-Salem, N.C. 27101. The only reason I know is that I do
genealogy research for others and I do have a copy of the Palacky Lodge #630
in my possession. This was a lodge made up primarily of Czech men in
Chicago. In fact, the book is written in Czech and English. Perhaps an
historical society near you would have a copy...or the Grand Lodge?
Hope this helps.

I'm not sure about the second "O", but I.O.F. stands for Independent
Order of Foresters. >>
