Woodsmen of the World

[JNPBUCK]

  Has anyone out there heard of a fraternal organization called the Woodsmen of
the World?  As far as I know, its like some sort of Elks club or the
Freemasons...but for foresters or loggers.  I've seen several cemetary
headstones in the shape of tree trunks with some inscription about Woodsmen of
the World or IOOF (I think this stands for International Order of Foresters). 
I've searched the Web to no avail.  Any information or anecdotal stories would
be helpful.
Thank you.
