According to my Genealogy dictionary....
Obit. A mass for a deceased person celebrated on the anniversay of his death; often mentioned in pre-Reformation wills.
Does this make any sense to you?
Lesley.

Thanks Lesley. That might explain why the inscription is at the bottom as Nancy died in 1875 it looks like 1825

I think the explanation is simpler in the context of a grave inscription - "died".

I agree, OED has it as the date of death.
