Independent Order of Odd Fellows. Lecture Lodge, No. 563 (Ill.)

This colorful certificate shows that Henry M. Walling of Lecture Lodge, No. 563, received the Scarlet Degree and was elected as Treasurer in January 1877, Vice Grand in July 1877, and Noble Grand in January 1878. Inset into the center, as part of the architectural design of the register, are two tin-type portrait photographs, presumably of Henry Walling and his wife.
