c/o Bruun Memorial Library, PO Box 368, Humboldt, NE 68376

The Humboldt Historical Picture Society was organized October 9, 1989.  The original committee consisted of Charles Marburger, chairman; Veronica Arington, secretary; and Maxine Weaver, treasurer.  Other members who have served since that time are Nellie Marie Howe, Annabelle Rumbaugh and Elma Ruth Yaussi.  The object of the society is to collect pictures or reproductions of people, businesses, events, etc., that have a connection to Humboldt and the surrounding community.  While the society is an independent entity, library facilities are used to store and display the collection.

Since that time the group has received many donations, both of pictures and money, categorized and identified pictures, and organized several collage displays.  They also helped with the purchase of an 1879 map of Richardson County for the library.  As members aged, the committee became inactive.  Currently, plans are being made to reorganize the group to help maintain the historic picture collection at Bruun Memorial Library.

Independent Order of Odd Fellows
The Independent Order of Odd Fellows, also known as I.O.O.F., is an active fraternal organization, whose members believe in a Supreme Being.  It is composed of two groups:  Odd Fellows, primarily men in Humboldt, but women are eligible to join, who meet the 1st and 3rd Tuesday nights; and Rebekahs, men and women, who meet the 2nd and 4th Friday nights.  All meetings are held in the IOOF hall, located on the northeast corner of the squar, with the meetings held in the upstairs.  The ultimate purpose of the two lodges is to relieve the distressed, care for the sick, bury the dead, and assist those in need.  All races and creeds are eligible for membership.  For more information, contact the Secretary of the Rebekahs, Nancy Nemechek or Secretary of Odd Fellows, Don Harshbarger.
