Description: Odd Fellows Cemetery, located in San Francisco, California, was established in 1865 by the Independent Order of Odd Fellows, a fraternal organization. The cemetery served as a final resting place for many of the city's residents until the early 20th century when urban development pressures and health concerns led to the relocation of most of the graves to Greenlawn Memorial Park in Colma, a nearby city known for its numerous cemeteries. The original site of Odd Fellows Cemetery was eventually repurposed, and today it is part of the University of San Francisco campus, with only a few remnants and historical markers indicating its past as a burial ground. The history of Odd Fellows Cemetery reflects the broader trends of urban expansion and the shifting landscapes of San Francisco's burial practices.
