Cockle Printing Company, Omaha, Nebraska, Copyright, 1941. Part II lists THE

"As stated in the previous chapter, the children of Peter Lamar were all
daughters, and no one remained to carry on the name of Lamar. Since we are
concerned primarily with the continuation and development of the Lamar family
in America, we will not pursue the Peter Lamar line farther."

This book is very interesting and has wonderful information in it. Hope
someone can find it in the library or have it ordered from the Library of
Congress.
