their bodies to medical science." The Independent Order of Odd Fellows (IOOF) fraternal organization was formed in the early 18th century in England. They came together as a group of men with no unifying trait other than to “do good by man”. Their main goals were to support each other and take care of the needy. In 1819, the first American Lodge opened in Baltimore, Maryland during a time of high unemployment and a yellow fever epidemic. The newly ordained lodge took on as their mission to “visit the sick, relieve distress, bury the dead, and educate the orphans.” As new Lodges opened, the “Mother Lodge” would gift each new lodge with what was known as “Regalia and Paraphernalia”, including a coffin or casket and a skeleton. While the IOOF keeps its secrets and doesn’t reveal the purpose of the skeletons, experts have suggested the skeletons have something to do with the vow each member takes to help others, specifically to bury the dead. In the ritual of the first degree, the candidate is bound in chains, then blindfolded. The others form a mock funeral procession where the candidate is the deceased. When the blindfold is removed, the candidate comes face to face with a real human skeleton that is illuminated by lit torches on either side and he is invited to meditate on death. For the candidate will be dying to his old way of life and vowing to help those in need, welcome the traveler, educate the orphans and bury the dead.

And now the Valley County Sheriff Department has a skeleton in the closet, waiting for proper burial as an "unknown" in the Highland Cemetery. "This has happened periodically with other Oddfellow halls around the state," Sheriff Meier (and Valley County Coroner) said after making some phone calls to find out exactly what to do with the skeleton lawfully. For now the skeleton will remain at the Sheriff 's Department until an anthropologist comes to Glasgow to ascertain that it isn't Native American. "By Antiquity Law, if this skeleton is Native American, we can't bury it," Sheriff Meier explained, adding that he doubts it is. When viewing the skeleton Tuesday afternoon, he asked me, "What do you think it was, a man or a woman?"

One can see that the breast bone was removed during the autopsy and then carefully stitched back together with wire.

Skeleton in the closet continued

After studying the skeleton for a brief time, I had to answer: "I have no idea." "Know how you can tell?" he asked. I took a guess: "By the femur bone?" "Feel right up here," he said, guiding my hand up to the rear base of the skull. "Feel that knot right there?" "Yeah," says I. "It's a male," he said, adding, "I guess that's why us guys are called 'knot heads'." He figures this skeleton is of European descent and after examining the teeth and the start of arthritis in some of the joints, believes it was a man in his late 50s. "But I'm no anthropologist," he said. As for when the anthropologist arrives in Glasgow, Sheriff Meier said we'll just have to wait and see. If the sekelton is not Native American, a burial will take place. As for the seal ivory gavels, they will find a happy home at the Valley County Pioneer Museum. And as for the rest of the IOOF memorabilia, Byron is headed out with the load on Saturday morning to the Sovereign Grand Lodge in Great Falls.
