Leon Tunnicliff lived 1892 to 1939 in Bradford County PA.
Is this marker from a lodge or fraternal organization?
No markings oin the front or back of the flagholder give
clues to its origin. Does anybody recognize the insignia?

As time has passed and I have been exposed to more of the
plaques, I have concluded that this was erected by the family 
of Leon and it represents just what it says, that he was their
brother. 


Joseph Bird of New Jersey has a wreath with "Our Brother"
inscribed. Is this a family memento or organizational?
