Two nearly identical certificates for the Independent Order of Odd Fellows. Each has four images, one in each corner. Starting in the top left is an image of two women for the seal of the sovereign grand lodge of the independent order of odd fellows established in 1834. Top right corner is an open palm with a heart in it. Bottom right are two stone slates with Roman numerals I-X. Bottom left corner is a scale. There is an eye between 'Odd' and 'Fellows' at the top that seems to have rays radiating from it. In the middle there are three links connected with each other with "10 of Official certificate". Each back is printed in red ink certifying that it is the only receipt for the dues charged and both are signed by the Grand Secretary, J. Frank Grank. BC2010.022.901A is for $.50 and is dated July 16, 1903 for Low Waffel [sic] who paid Rainbow Rebekah lodge No. 198. It is signed by Sophia Bock and Jimie Burg.
