Found this in the attic of a house built a few years before Oklahoma's statehood. Looks old, but also looks like a reproduction of something old. It's at least old enough to be super brittle and has tannin staining on the back where it was mounted to a piece of wood for a LONG time.
This document seems to establish a Rebekah Lodge in “Indian Territory”.
To explain further: Oklahoma used to be referred to as Indian Territory before the US decided to once again break their treaties with the native people. Rebekah Lodges are the women’s side of the Oddfellows. The Oddfellows are a fraternal order similar to the Free Masons or the Woodsmen of the World. Many fraternal orders have women’s auxiliaries, the Masons have the Order of the Eastern Star.
I’m not qualified to tell if it’s real or not but it certainly looks like it from the pics.
Thank you! I've been trying to piece together an old house's history. This certificate may or may not have anything to do with it, but it's definitely an interesting piece of data to add.
