Context for this photo

by algorithmgeek

My cousin found this photo and is not sure about who the men are. The back of the photo says "Lodge, Beckley West Virginia." There is a Moose Lodge in the area, so maybe that is it? I don't know what the medals are that many have on. Any info is greatly appreciated!

The medals contain the square & compass associated with Freemasonry. Beckley, WV is host to Lodge #95, with a brief history here. Difficult to place the era from the clothing, other than probably first half of the 20th century.
