"Our community's "Northern Star Lodge #54 of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows of the State of Pennsylvania" was one of the oldest organizations in Bucks County. It is believed their first charter was 1825. They met in the White bear until they purchased ground nearby in 1846, and erected a lodge building on Second Street Pike in Richboro. They also built the Union Cemetery on Almshouse Road in 1854 when they saw a need for a nonsectarian cemetery in the area. As time passed, membership dwindled, and it became necessary to sell their lodge hall in the mid-1960's. The remaining members joined the lodge in Jamison." For
