Dr. Stratton also had a practice in an office just south of the post office and served the Odd Fellows for about 50 years.

We tried to educate the orphans in some sort of trade.

That building has been torn down now, but the order began meeting in a second building in 1913 above a grocery store.

The Odd Fellows was given permission to meet in October 1906, but the official charter was not given until the spring of 1907.
