Now for my dopey-dingbat of the day question...what is that insignia at the top of the Monument that looks like a $ dollar sign??

I don't think that's a dopey-dingbat question, Toia. I googled Catholic Symbols Gravestones and found a design that looks similar.

"This is a Christian symbol that can appear in two forms, as the letters IHS or as a monogram. Both forms only differ in presentation. The meaning does not change as letters or a monogram. It can alternately be spelled IC, XC or XPS. There are many different interpretations of the meaning, however all agree that it essentially stands for the name of Jesus Christ."
