Fraternity Fountain of Youth to Grand Sire

John Cockrum Is Holder of Highest Office Given by I. 0. 0. F. Fraternity is a fountain of youth to the oldest living past grand sire of Odd Fellows and keeps him going strong at three score ten and three. Mixing with his fellow-men is a passion with John B. Cockrum, 1416 North Alabama street, who has held the highest office bestowed by I. O. O. F. It kept him trailing the streets, visiting hotels and attending lodge sessions to meet delegates at the international convention of the order here this week. Call Him Colonel Strains of fraternal work don’t bother Colonel Cockrum, as his friends speak of him. Old age never could shake off the lodge instinct. He is a member of Philoxenia lodge, 44, Indianapolis, a thirtythird degree Mason, and has served as president of the Odd Fellows Hall Association twenty years. Enthusiasm for the order is natural with him. With characteristic spryness he shook hands with the “old guard” today and chatted about the international convention here in 1911, w'hen he presided. Recalls 1911 Convention “That paralleled the present session,” Cockrum told friends today. “But I believe the younger boys are doing a better job at entertaining than we did.” When asked if he had retired from business, he answered: “Why, of course not,” with a quick, emphatic gesture, Cockrum and his wife entertained other past grand sires, their wives and other friends at the Columbia Club Wednesday.
