Could the A & M stand for Arts & Mechanics?  Seems to me there was something
like that in KY towns.  The "D" may be the locale...

Has anyone heard of the D. A. & M. Fair of 1861?  I believe it has
something
to do with early woodcraft and/or furniture makers, but I may be
mistaken.

Any ideas what it means?

Thanks!
