It means that the summons was served and notice of its service was returned to the issuing agency.
Can a civil summons be delivered out of jurisdiction?
If by "delivered" you mean served, yes. The summons has to be issued by the Clerk of the Court where the case is pending, directing service on the defendant at a specific address. The Plaintiff then forwards the issued summons to the sheriff's service of process unit, or hires a special process server (sometimes called an "elisor") in the Defendant's locale to effect service of process. If successful, a return of service is sent back to the Plaintiff (or his/her/its attorney) documenting service. The original of the return of service is filed with the court where the case is pending, and the Plaintiff or his/her/its attorney retains a copy. The documentation of service of process is critical to demonstrating that the court has acquired the requisite personal jurisdiction over the Defendant.

Can a summons be given to a family member in lue of the defendant?
Probably. A civil summons is served at the address of the person named. Therefore, any person who is of legal age and residing at the same address may, as a rule, be served in lieu of the named. There are some exceptions, the main one being if the order is a subpoena rather than a summons.

Contact the office of the clerk of the court that issued the civil summons immediately for instructions on how to return the summons. In most instances the court will allow the summons to stand, as it has been served at the only known address of the defendant and the suit will go forward with or without the response of the named defendant.
What happens if the court sends papers to the wrong address?
When a summons is sent to the wrong address you should return it to the post office. The office will search for a new address.
What is an alias summons?
