Did you ever find an answer to this question? I have been asking all of my genealogy and historical society friends if they ever heard of NOD on a headstone. The questions they asked were: What was the time period or date this is listed (only 1930)? Where on the headstone was the NOD listed (on top of name, after the date?) What part of the country or state are these graves? Please let me know if you got an answer or know the answers to my questions concerning the NOD My first thought was the the OD part is "of death", like TOD is "Time of death" Thanks, Shirley Hunt Sande <aunt_sande@yahoo.com> wrote: Has anyone encountered the letters NOD on a headstone or in the cemetery records? Do you know what the initials mean? Someone sent me pics of the headstones of some ancestors and the deed to the same plots, dated 1930. What I am wondering is...does this maybe mean that the person is not buried there or not dead yet? Or.... what does it mean? When I looked at the cemetery map there were no other plots that had that on them, except the ones for my distant family members.
