You are correct. Note the vestment around the neck. On several there is the three links of chain which is associated with the International Order of Odd Fellows (IOOF). The chain links, as seen on their signs, would have the letters F L T inside the link, Faith Love Truth I am told.

McKinney photo probably represents Odd Fellows (IOOF). They are neither Freemasons nor Shriners; Masons would wear aprons and Shriners would wear a red fez.
