Hi, The three linked chain is a symbol of the Odd Fellows and the dove is the symbol for the Rebekahs. These are lodges, much like the Masons and Stars, which were organized back in the 1800's and are still in existence, to a lesser, degree today. The men belong to the Odd Fellows and the ladies to the Rebekahs. The Rebekah symbol, in addition to the dove, also includes the moon and some stars (I can't recall for sure at the moment how many stars, but I think it's seven). My mother was a Rebekah for 75 years. Her tombstone has the symbol of the dove, moon, and stars on it. My grandparents and great grandparents plus several great aunts and uncles were also members of these organizations and have the symbols on their tombstones.
