History of Odd Fellow &  Rebekah Lodge 346 of  Mulliken
 By: Mrs. Rose Debler
 July, 1976
 
The Odd Fellow Lodge was started in the year of 1903. Francis M. McIntyre, father of Leo McIntyre, was an Odd Fellow. Through the years their membership had become very low, so rather than lose the hall they decided to deed the hall over to the Rebekah's.
 
Francis M. McIntyre became the first Noble Grand to help organize the Rebekah’s in the year of 1919. Since then there has been 177 different Noble Grand’s.
 
The Rebekah’s are still holding their meetings twice a month and each year hold a District Meeting. In the fall we attend the Grand Assembly at Grand  Rapids, Michigan. We are always looking for new members to carry on, and keep the order of Rebekah an active organization.
