Stuck! Help! Unknown Gravestone Carving

I have been trying to figure out this symbol, I have searched all over the net for this symbol but, can not find it anywhere.  I don't suppose anyone out there can help me out here.



Here is a piece of a picture with this symbol . I realize the clarity of the image isn't so good but if you can help I would be grateful.

    F-C-B is usually Friendship, Charity and Benevolence, the motto of the Knights of Pythias. I've often seen it in a shield, with the letters separated within triangles, but never just a triangle as shown here. ~~ Amy

    I agree with Amy...Knights of Pythias. Usually, though, the triangles are reversed-in that the points seem upside down in this picture.

    IF the initials are OES, perhaps it is Order of Eastern Star (Masonic)
