IOOF Carmen Children Home

We found the following information on Ancestry.com Messageboard, concerning Odd Fellows Orphanage, Carmen, Alfalfa County, Oklahoma. The lady, Patricia Mills, who posted it gave a phone number for those wishing to records from the Grand masters office in Perry, Oklahoma.

Patricia says, "My mother, her sister and brother were in the home in Oct. 1938. The children placed there had to have a family member belonging to the IOOF (Independent Order of Odd Fellows). The records were sent to the Grand Masters office in Perry, OK. The phone no is 580-336-4076. I was able to receive a copy of the original application of my mother and aunt before they were placed in the home. Good luck."
