Interesting Medallion - Looks very old - Probally best guess I can make is 1920 / 30

I searched "Ada N. Jones" "Grand Chief" and got a couple of hits from a pay
newspapers site. The newspaper was from Portsmouth, New Hampshire from
1942. The snippet that is showing for one of the articles says,

"Mrs. Wakefield is the first member of Hope Temple of East Rochester to be
honored by being named to the position of Grand Chief since Mrs. Ada N. Jones...."

Might be related to the Pythian Sisters, who, like the Knights of Pythias, use
Grand Chief as the title for the highest ranking officer in the local Temple.
