He was a resident of Poplar Bluff from 1867 through about 1877, I believe. He started and was one of the owners of the Black River News, of which I have a copy from July, 23, 1869. According to the newspaper, Dr. Poplin was president of the Board of Trustees for the Black River Seminary, a member of the Oddfellows, as well as the president of the “Butler County Immigration Society”. He also was a practicing doctor and owned a drug store where he marketed his own line of medicines, including his Pile Ointment, Liver Pill, and “Poplin’s Missouri Liniment.” I have also heard that he was instrumental in getting the railroad through Poplar Bluff and gave a speech at the opening ceremonies. ======================================================================== Green L.
