Corporation lawyer; counsel for the Pennsylvania Lines in Indiana
On the record
Fred E. Zollars, a son of Judge Allen Zollars and Minnie (Ewing) Zollars, was educated in the Fort Wayne public schools and at Miami University. He read law in his father’s office and was admitted to the bar in 1898, then practiced in partnership with his father until the judge’s death in 1909, after a Fort Wayne practice of forty-one years. The son succeeded to the business of the firm and to his father’s place as counsel for the Pennsylvania Lines in Indiana and for the Grand Rapids & Indiana and the Wabash and Vandalia railroad companies. His practice centered on corporation law, and he was a director of the Federal Security Investment Company. He married Gertrude Lindsay on 17 August 1898. His father’s earlier partnership, Zollars & Worden (1894–1902), links this sketch to the profile of Charles H. Worden in this supplement.
