| Historicial Development: | The Southern Industrial and Lumber Review reported in September 1908 that Charles Popp once owned a stave mill “about ten miles south of Nacogdoches,” probably near LaNana Bayou, and that he “recently” sold this mill to C.W. Pope of Illinois, who planned to relocate his family to Texas. No definite connection can be made, but the same trade journal reported several years earlier, in October 1905, that J. P. Popp, a representative of the Louis Verner Stave Company of Shreveport, Louisiana, a concern which employed 700 men in the states of Arkansas, Mississippi, Alabama, Texas, and Louisiana, was looking to create a Texas branch office in Houston.
