Help with family monument symbol

Help with family monument symbol

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.

That is interesting. I have a book. I'll see what I can find.

I suppose if the deceased was 85 years old when they died you would not be asking the question.
