Fraternal Order of the Hoo-Hoo

[HuntinDog]

Ok,
Get your mind out of the gutter.... lol
Found this while cleaning out some of the back yard.

The International Concatenated Order of Hoo-Hoo, is a fraternal and service organization whose members are involved in the forests products industry.

Founded in 1892 and still going strong.

The B.T.T.O.T.G.S.B.C. stands for " By the Tail of the Great Serene Black Cat".
There should be a "Halloween" style Black Cat in the middle.

This Badge was from the Portland, OR Sept 9, 1905 convention.

Pretty cool Badge...

That is really cool. I was cycling around Bremerton WA a few years back and came up on a cemetery with some really elaborate tombstones for members of a fraternal order called the woodsman. I had never heard of the so when I got back to the shop I liked them up which led me to discover all sorts of fraternal orders which were so popular in 1880’s to it seems the 1940’s then they started thinning out. Interesting enough there was a G.A.R. Section in that cemetery with a Navy gut who won the M.O.H. during the Civil War!

I want to thank you all.
This was one of those finds that really get the juices following.
Had to stop hunting and hit the computer and find out what it was that I just found.
These guys had some pretty strange rituals that they fallowed.
Pretty neat history..

Thanks again for looking
