After finally seeing the headstone with unusual/extra initials of John William Makings and Louisa Ashcroft Westover I learned that they were both apart of fraternal clubs/organizations. Specifically, FLT (Independent Order of Odd Fellows - also known as "The Three Link Fraternity" which stands for Friendship, Love and Truth) and LOTMM (Ladies of the Modern Maccabees).
Since learning this I wanted to be able to categorize them and hopefully learn more from others in the community who know more about these groups.
I can't seem to find a project page for this and I have no idea where to look, especially if I end up having to create a free space profile or something.
Can anyone help me with this please?
Thank you!
Well for now, after some searching through G2G questions and answers, I created a category under Fraternal Organizations for the Ladies of the Modern Maccabees and I found the IOOF category there as well to tag her husband.

Eventually a project page will have to be made but this is a good start for now I guess.
Oh and Carolyn, they do have a Woodman of the World category too.
Not sure if Jaycees would fit in category you made.
The United States Junior Chamber, also known as the Jaycees, JCs or JCI USA,
