Here is the address and website for the Sovereign Grand Lodge:
422 Trade Street, Winston-Salem, NC 27101

What are you hoping to find? As a general rule you need to consult lodge records (i.e., local) to find info on your ancestor. And don't forget...just because your ancestor was buried in an Odd Fellow cemetery, it does not mean that he was a member. These were community service/fundraising projects, i.e., anyone in the community could purchase a lot based on availability.

But he it is very possible that he was, I just want to make sure that you do not think presume he was because he was buried in the cemetery. At one time Odd Fellowship was larger in membership than Freemasonry, so check it out.

Do you know if there is still an Odd Fellows lodge in Tilden, NE? Is the cemetery still owned by a lodge?

Before contacting anyone, let me suggest that you go to the website and click on the link "Family Research."

Let us all know what you find!
