His portrait show membership in a fraternal organization.

Ancient Mystic Order of Samaritans fez AMOS is a Shriner-like fun club for Odd Fellows. I’ve been told that the pyramidal lighthouse emblem seen here was only used on early fezzes. The motto: “We Never Sleep” ties in with the flame attending lighthouse, since the Samaritans were known to rescue ships at sea. The “X” stands for Xerxes, who was the Great King of Persia 2500 years ago. Asop Sanctorum No. 134 is located in Boston. This link may be still good:
