Daryl: I saw your query on the ARDREW-Drew County message board. I might as well put in my 2 cents. I don't know if this will be any help to you, but here goes. There is a Carroll LaGrone who lives in Monticello, Drew County. He is in his early 60's; I knew his father years ago. Carroll 2431 Hwy 35 West, Monticello 71655 870 367-7794 You will find a number of LaGrones living in Ashley County. I remember Freddie and his brother (can't remember name). They ran the LaGrone Rexall Drug, 201 N. Main St., Hamburg 71646. I will give you some of the listings from last years phone book. Fred 903 E.
