Dr. Delozier, son of Jesse C. and Susan Nimon Delozier, was born in Blount County Sept. 14,1858. He received his early education at Porter Academy and graduated from the Tennessee College of Medicine at Knoxville in 1886. He also had ten days surgical training at Johns Hopkins.
After completing his education he started practicing medicine in Blount County. One day he was called to Fairgarden in Sevier County to visit a patient, Miss Sara Ellen Loveday whom he later married. The wedding party consisted of the bride and groom, Taylor Fox, Will Loveday, A.M. Delozier, and Will Delozier. Dr. Delozier practiced from his home in Fairgarden until 1908 when he moved to the corner of Park Road and Bruce Street. His next move was to the house adjoining the Ingles where he lived until his death.
The Sevier County Republican, dated Nov. 9, 1888, reported that Dr. J.B. Delozier was appointed to a committee of arrangements and conveyances by the president of the Arthur Club of Fairgarden. A talk was made by Dr. Delozier on the political issues and the propriety of making the Arthur Club a permanent organization.
During the administration of President Benjamin Harrison, Dr. Delozier was a member of the board of examining surgeons. He was a member of the Oddfellows and the Sevier County Medical Association. In 1929 he was said to be the oldest practicing physician in Tennessee.
Dr. Delozier married Sara Ellen Loveday on Oct. 3,1888, and had three children: Alton O.; Luther C.; and Irma Delozier. After the death of his first wife he married Florence Finchum. Dr. Delozier died July 3, 1931, and is buried in Knox County.
