Subject: Help with family monument symbol

Surnames:
This symbol is on the top of the monument of my mothers family plot in Illinois. We are puzzled as to what it means. One person said it could be a date 1885/86, but if it is it doesn't correspond to any date in the family history.
The family is from Germany, the Hanover area.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
