THE FIRST DOCUMENTED BURIAL AT THIS SITE WAS THE 1867 INTERMENT OF SAMUEL AND ELIZABETH PARTIN’S INFANT SON, JOHN S. PARTIN. AT THE TIME OF THE CEMETERY’S INITIAL USE, THE PROPERTY WAS OWNED BY ASA DALTON. IT IS BELIEVED THAT THE CEMETERY WAS NAMED AFTER JOHN LOLLAR, A NEIGHBOR WHOSE PROPERTY WAS SITUATED JUST ACROSS THE VAN ZANDT COUNTY LINE, ALTHOUGH WHETHER HE IS BURIED HERE IS UNKNOWN. ADDITIONAL FAMILIES REPRESENTED IN THE CEMETERY INCLUDE FANCHER, BRANNAN, DRIVER, AND LEWIS. THE CEMETERY WAS USED BY AREA FAMILIES FOR MORE THAN SEVENTY-FIVE YEARS; THE LAST BURIAL, OF ELI LOLLAR FANCHER, OCCURRED IN 1944. |
