There is an unmarked photo with a man wearing a hat who
looks very similar to both Raymond Gilmore and Clyde Gilmore.
In addition to photographs and the funeral card there were
also two ribbons that were part of this heirloom collection. The first ribbon
has a medal inscribed Hastings, the Queen City with the Odd Fellows fraternal
symbol. The ribbon states 75th Annual Session Grand Lodge I.O.O.F. of
Nebraska, Hastings, Oct. 19-20, 1932.
Another photo of the I.O.O.F. Medal/Ribbon shows that the
ribbon is curling on the end.
The second ribbon states Annual Log Rolling M.W. of A.,
Modern Woodmen of America, Butler Camp, No. 748, Weeping Water, Nebraska.
This last photo shows the back side of the Modern Woodmen
