That would be Lamar, Alaska. >From the posting I assume you are looking for Lamar, Johnson Co., AR In any case, I looked in the 1880 census (the latest index I have), and did not find a Groene Family, nor a Fanny Cook. I checked the Lamar cemetery: (new addition) Cook, Lowell S. 8/25/1912 12/29/1965 Cook, Nettie J. 1/22/1912 2/26/1963 (original section) Cook, Annabelle 08/25/1907 03/02/1929 Cook, Clara Etta Pearson 03/10/1885 04/27/1962 Cook, Walter C. 01/20/1882 12/19/1966 I don't find the name Groene in any cemeteries in the Johnson County Cemetery Book (1986), which is extensive, but not complete. The period up to 1912 is poorly covered by local newspapers, as few have been found. Do you have the names of later family members in Johnson Co. for whom there might be records? This might be a search route.
