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...)
