Madison County Biography of:

"Lollar, Frank M., one of the enterprising farmers of Lamar Township, Madison County, Arkansas was born on the farm on which he now resides, August 20, 1851. He is a son of Reuben and Rhoda (KING) Lollar, who were Tennesseans, and were among the first settlers of Madison County, Arkansas.

The former's death which occurred in 1864, was caused by exposure during the war. He was a Whig previous to that conflict and afterward became a stanch Republican and a Union man. He was a farmer, and he and wife were members of the Cumberland Presbyterian Church.

They became the parents of nine children: James (who is residing in Fayetteville, was a Union soldier and served with credit), George W. (a farmer of Madison County, was also a Union soldier), Lucinda (wife of William HOLMESLEY), William (was conscripted in the Confederate service against his will, and was killed at the battle of Elkhorn) and Frank M. The rest of the children are dead.

Frank M. resided with his mother until her death in 1880, at the age of sixty-three years. Since that time he has continued to reside at the old homestead, and now is the owner of 289 acres of fertile land.

When he started life for himself, after his mother's death, he was the owner of a team, two cows and two hogs, and since that time he has bought out other heirs, and now owns the old homestead, to which he has added 120 acres. February 21, 1869, he married Louise, daughter of James M. JOHNSON. She was born near her present home January 22, 1853, and she and Mr. Lollar are parents of six children: Ross, Alexander N, Willis, Millard F., Mary F. and Katie.

Mr. Lollar is a Republican and is an earnest supporter of the cause of education. (Goodspeeds History of NW AR...)


Paulette Lollar [mplollar@aol.com] has submitted this revised information regarding the Lollars:

                                 I would like to submit a correction to the above file. It is as follows: James Lollar, enlisted in the Confederate
                                Army, and then deserted to the Union Army after the death of his two brothers - William and Levi. William was
                                 the father of my great-granddaddy and he was very proud of the fact that his daddy had fought for the Confederacy.
                                William and Levi joined in Nov. 1861 and both died in Mar. 1862. Your biography omitted Levi. In addition, you
                                state that Reuben and Rhoda (King)  were Tennesseans. Reuben was born in KY and Rhoda was born in NC.
                               Frank was born 20 Aug. 1848, not 1851 (he is listed as 2 yrs. on the 1850 census).
