This image shows the interior of the IOOF building, one of Bodie's largest remaining structures.  I.O.O.F. stands for the "International Order of Odd Fellows". According to the IOOF brochure, the group's mandate is "to improve and elevate the character of mankind". That being said, the IOOF certainly had a formidable task in Bodie, a town known for harsh conditions and wicked men.
