Conclusion.
The end always comes. So it has this time as to the year. But it
has been a most pleasant one of work and responsibility. The sessions
of the Board have all been seasons of brotherly kindness and careful
toil. Never has an unkind word dropped from a member of the Board,
nor has the Superintendent or Matron met with other than encourage-
ment and the best of advice from the members of the Board of Direc-
tors. The good sisters of the Advisory Board have aided with womanly
and sisterly discretion and wisdom as they have given of their timely
and valued suggestions. Nothing has entered the work of the year to
mar the God-chosen endeavor.
From all over the great jurisdiction of Illinois have come words of
good cheer and substantial gifts. To every one who has in the least
contributed to the happiness we extend our sincerest thanks.
That the next year may be better than the preceding, in every way,
is the wish of the Home and the Board.
Fraternally,

TRUSTEES' REPORT.
Mattoon, Illinois, Oct. 31, 1907.
Hon. Fred B. Merrills,
Grand Master I. 0. O. F. of Illinois.
Again it is our pleasant privilege and duty to submit to you, and
through you to the Grand Lodge, the annual report of the Trustees
of the I. O. O. F. Old Folks' Home at Mattoon.
Regular meetings have been held each month, all expenditures
have been carefully audited, and the business affairs of the Home
given our earnest and fraternal consideration.
We indeed feel great pride in this Home, which has become one of
the grand monuments of our Order, sending out good cheer and com
fort to our aged and infirm, and attuning the heart strings of every
true Odd Fellow and Rebekah in a grand chorus of thanksgiving and
love.
Lonesome, indeed, must feel the Odd Fellow or Rebekah who seeks
to speak disparagingly of the Odd Fellows' Homes of Illinois.
Under appropriate heads you will find our detailed report of what
has been accomplished during the year, and to this we invite your
careful consideration.
MEMBERSHIP.
The membership at the close of this year numbers seventy-six,
with five accepted applicants yet to hear from — sixteen Sisters and
sixty Brothers. Of this number fifteen are over 80 years of age.
While there are many things in the lives of our aged and afflicted
members to cause them moments of sorrow and worry, yet their kind,
cheerful and patient disposition at all times cannot help but be notice-
able. That they appreciate their Home and are grateful to the Order
for its fraternal care is evidenced by the manner in which they seek
at all times to assist in things necessary for the welfare and advance-
ment of the Home.
They lighten the burdens of our Superintendent and employes
daily by their helping hands.
In the kitchen and dining room, the workshop and laundry, the
farm and garden, you will find our aged members assisting in many
138 JOURNAL OF PROCEEDINGS. -j Nov^^g^itioT
ways to carry on the duties of this growing institution. It reminds
you of one large family, working harmoniously for a general good.
The Board cannot but help notice the increased interest taken, and
desires to thank each member, gratefully, for every assistance rendered,
CHRISTMAS, 1906.
"Santa Glaus" was with us last Christmas and did not forget to
leave the members many desirable gifts.
The halls and dining room were beautifully decorated with Christ-
mas bells and mottoes, festoons of bright colors, entwined with the
emblems of our Order were everywhere.
Donations of desirable articles of clothing and sweetmeats were
received from many lodges and individuals over the State, while
seventeen lodges donated money to the sum of over one hundred
dollars.
When the Home family sat down to breakfast they found at each
plate a box of fine candy, fruits and numerous presents from old time
friends. A large envelope at each plate contained a unique Christmas
card to which was attached a crisp, new one dollar bill.
The members enjoyed the day and in many ways showed their
heartfelt appreciation.
RELIGIOUS SERVICES.
Once more we desire to express our thanks and appreciation to
the churches of the city of Mattoon and vicinity, and especially to the
Sunday School children, who came to the Home at various times, and
so nicely entertained the members with their beautiful exercises and
bright happy faces. It was like a golden ray of sunlight in the path-
way of our lives and we assure you that your kindness and its divine
influences will ever remain in the memory of our aged Brothers and
Sisters.
ENTERTAINMENTS.
Various entertainments have been given at the Home the past
year by friends of the Order, and the members have shown their
appreciation at all times. We would like to make special mentioii
of each entertainment, for they have all been of a high moral and
instructive nature, but space forbids our entering into detail. The
Board, however, in behalf of our great membership throughout the
State, desires to express its heartfelt thanks to all who have so ably
assisted to make this Home a pleasant one.
ANNUAL PICNIC.
Again our "Little Friends" from the Orphans' Home at Lincoln
came in a body by special train to spend the day with the "Old Folks"
^/^iUacf^^-^
(iHANI) WAIiI>EN.
Nov"a9!l9()7. [ GRAND LODGE OF ILLINOIS^ I.O.O.F. 129
at the Mattoon Home. June 21st was an ideal day for an outing and
the beautiful grove and buildings were in readiness to receive and
entertain the large crowd of visitors who came to participate in the
"Union Picnic" of the two Homes.
Visitors commenced arriving early and a steady stream of Odd
Fellows and Rebekahs and their friends from all over the State found
their way to the Home during the day. The children in charge of
Superintendent Lucas and his assistants, and accompanied by the
Board of Directors, arrived by special train at 10 a. m. After being
transferred to electric cars they were escorted to the Home by the
Board of Trustees and the Grand Lodge OflBcers.
The Orphans' Home Band and the Odd Fellows' Band of Bethany
divided honors on music during the day, while the children exchanged
greetings with our aged Brothers and Sisters and the many interested
visitors.
Nearly all of the oflBcers of the Grand Lodge and Rebekah Assem-
bly were present and helped to make the day a success. The manage-
ment was ably assisted by the Brothers and Sisters of the Mattoon
Local Lodges, and the Board of Trustees desires to express its earnest
appreciation and best wishes to all.
FARM AND GARDEN.
As usual, under the management of Brother Henry DeBuhr, our
farm and garden has yielded bountifully. Our report shows that
besides the great amount of farm products used at the Home, we have
sold products to the amount of $2,286.62, and have deposited same
with the Grand Treasurer.
BEAUTIFUL FLOWERS.
Never in the history of the Home have our well-kept lawn and
flower gardens looked so beautiful and attractive. Under the direction
of Brother DeBuhr, assisted by Brother Cowper and other members
of the Home, the flowers have been artistically arranged and carefully
attended. The various beds have been one mass of beautiful colors,
and greatly admired, not only by those associated with the Home, but
by the many daily visitors from all directions.
VISITORS.
The Home has been well remembered by visitors the past year and
the records show increased attendance by members and friends of
the Order. All speak with praise of our magnificent Home and its well
furnished apartments. Many compliments have been paid the Order
130 JOURNAL OF PROCEEDINGS. ] Nov^W^igOT
for the manner in which it cares for its aged and indigent members.
"Visitors return home with a higher opinion oi the Society which
teaches the principles of "Friendship, Love and Truth."
BARN.
Our new barn is practically completed and the old wooden structure
has been moved away. This new building is of the very best material
and constructed on the most approved modern plan. Resting on a
heavy concrete foundation and a solid concrete floor, it stands a fine
brick structure 42x76 feet, with slate roof.
Its capacity is ample for years to come. A solid brick wall sep-
arates the dairy department from horses and carriage room. Two
stairways lead to the upper floor so that the aged brothers and em-
ployes may reach the hay loft with ease.
The cow barn is a model and affords room for 20 head of cattle.
Water pipes are handy at various places in the building.
HEATING PLANT.
Our heating plant is in operation and with the exception of a few
minor details the contract is finished. The heating plant is a solid
brick structure 50x50 feet, adjoining the laundry building on the south.
It has concrete and brick floors and is divided into three apartments
by brick partitions — engine room, boiler room and coal room- — all well
ventilated and large enough for additional service and machinery when
the demands of the Home require it. Two large high pressure boilers
furnish the steam for heating all buildings as well as the power for
running the laundry machinery.
REPAIRS.
We have had very little repairs to make this year on the main
buildings, but much has been accomplished by Superintendent Wyman,
assisted by members of the Home, in removing the old barn and all the
old sheds, and utilizing them for other purposes. The old barn, being
of heavy oak frame, was moved to a more desirable location and set on
a concrete foundation with concrete floor. A new roof was put on it and
it was converted into a first class implement house. The tool house was
also moved and set upon concrete and is now a serviceable work shop
for our aged brothers and farm employes, while the remainder of the
old lumber was used to build hog houses and cattle sheds.
This removes all inflammable material away from the main build-
ings and new barn, and gives us desirable shelter for farm machinery
and stock.
SPECIAL MENTION.
We feel it our duty to make special mention of the valuable services
rendered the Home in the past year by Department Commander Maj.
Nov^l9 ^07 [ GRAND LODGE OF ILLINOIS, I.O.O.F. 131
General James Henry Harris, of Chicago. Bro. Harris, being an expert
on heating plants for large institutions, came to the Home last Novem-
ber at his own expense, and carefully examined our heating system.
He gave the Board the benefit of his excellent judgment and we
profited greatly by his valuable suggestions in installing our new plant.
We appreciate his services and desire to express our appreciation
through the columns of this annual report.
We also desire to make special mention of the sacred and popular
concert given at Oakland Music hall, Chicago, on March 24th, by
Manzer's Orchestra.
Bro. Manzer is an ardent Odd Fellow and a liberal supporter of the
two "Homes." He sent us the proceeds of this concert for the benefit
of the Old Folks' Home. We appreciate and thank him and his asso-
ciates for this kind remembrance.
INSURANCE.
Fire and Tornado insurance has received our careful attention and
all policies have been deposited in a vault in charge of our Grand
Secretary, Bro. John H. Sikes, at Springfield. We have insured in none
but high grade companies and endeavored at all times to secure the
lowest possible rate.
