stands for International Order of Foresters. They were an insurance
company and I remember my parents joining in the 50’s. They promised
to take care of orphans if their parents were “members” and I think
they had orphan homes set up around the country. They would also
bury you. I remember they were a big deal a long time ago and I even
marched in a parade once that was a group of us who were all
“members”.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
