Okay, so it was my great grandpa's brother. He was in a railroad union.

I have a large framed (24 by 14?) print with a circular picture at the top of him, and then the print reads:

"Initiated January 1904

Northwestern 424

B.R. R. T.

Benevolence, Sobriety & Industry

Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen

Organized June 16, 1881

Chicago, Illinois

Best answer goes to who can tell me what it is and where I can find others like it on the web.
