Thanks, Peg. That sounds like a reasonable possibility. Funny how I've heard the song about the 12 days of Christmas all my life and never questioned what it was really about!! By the way, in a book of burial listings for Dent Co. MO and some surrounding areas, I found the following listed buried in Asher Cemetery (supposed to be in Seaton community on hwy. 68 in Phelps Co. MO): William Luthy 5-28-1814 8-8-1882 Mary A. Luthy, widow of William, 10-21-1821 1-18-1909 Thought I'd pass it on to you just in case.......
