Independent Order of Odd Fellows - also known as "The Three Link Fraternity" which stands for Friendship, Love and Truth. Many times the FLT will be found on a flag holder or on the tombstone with each letter in a link of a chain. This is actually the described logo for the Independent Order of Odd Fellows (I.O.O.F.). Probably the only fraternal organization that offers a death benefit to its members and actually has developed, supported, and maintained their own cemeteries and homes for the aged.
The title "odd" doesn't necessarily refer to its members' peculiarity but alludes to a more archaic definition of the word that denotes uniqueness. The Odd Fellows was formed in England in the 1700s and has since split off into several sub-groups. The largest of the American groups is called the Independent Order of Odd Fellows and you can see their symbol â€" three chain links with the letters FLT inside â€" on many American tombstones. Their symbol is often topped with the Masonic all-seeing eye of God. The organization is also cryptic about their meaning and function, but they once boasted millions of members before the Civil War
