    JOHN B. LOLLAR, son of John A. and Susan (Gillin) Lollar. was born November
30, 1835, near Jasper, Ala., and was reared on a farm at Lost Creek. He went
into the Confederate Army as third lieutenant in Company G, Thirteenth Alabama
Regiment, Cavalry (Colonel Hewlitt.) This regiment was consolidated with the
First Alabama, which was commanded by Colonel Boyle, of Mobile, and for about a
year did garrison duty at Columbus, Miss. It afterward served at other places in
that State.

    After the war Mr. Lollar made corn and cotton for some years on Lost Creek.
In 1877 he was elected sheriff of Walker County, and tax collector in 1880. In
1885 he was appointed postmaster at Jasper, and in 1886 was elected Clerk of the
Circuit Court, which position he has held until the present time.

    Mr. Lollar was married in 1857 to Miss Elizabeth, daughter of Isaac Taylor,
a prominent citizen of Poplar Cove. N. Ala., and who died in Texas. Mr. Lollar
has eight living children, viz : William R., Fannie E., Meta J., Queen Victoria,
Margaret E., Isaac H., Andrew J. and Joe.

    John A. Lollar (John B.'s father) came to Walker County at its first
settlement, and his father, Hugh Lollar, named the town of Jasper.

    Hugh Lollar, Jr., John B.'s oldest brother, was sheriff of Walker County
before the war, and is said to have been one of the best officers the county
ever had. He was killed at the battle of Murfreesboro.
