I have since found the history of the organization. Was interested because of a grave marker that was found bearing the Supreme Royal Circle of Friends emblems. I have no other information. Thanks.

Supreme Royal Circle Of Friends Of The World RCF 09
Willing Worker
The Supreme Royal Circle of Friends of the World was founded in 1909
in Forest City Arkansas by Dr. Richard A. Williams. This fraternal
organization for black men had as its primary goal promoting the
moral, physical, intellectual, and material welfare of its members.
The success of the Royal Circle was partly due to blacks' mistrust of
government and white owned banks. The Royal Circle of Friends offered
great returns for small investments, with the support of friends,
neighbors, churches, and respected black business leaders.

The fee for joining the Royal Circle, including a medical examination,
was $2.50. Members then paid $1 per quarter, which paid $300 to the
beneficiary after the member's death.

For years to come, in rural black cemeteries loyalty to the Royal
Circle of Friends was indicated by the distinctive headstones that
displayed the organization's symbol of the majestic lion and letters
