Gilbert Poor
Gilbert H. Poor (October 18, 1866 - ?) was a homesteader, newspaper publisher and machinist who served as a Socialist member of the Common Council and of the Wisconsin State Assembly.〔(Cannon, A. Peter, ed. ''Members of the Wisconsin Legislature: 1848 – 1999''. State of Wisconsin Legislative Reference Bureau Informational Bulletin 99-1, September 1999; p. 95 )〕
== Background ==
Poor was born in Murphysboro, Illinois on October 18, 1866. When he was eleven, his family emigrated with his parents to Kansas and farmed there. He received his education in public schools, but quit while in the eighth grade. In 1888 he moved to southern Louisiana and took a Government homestead, which he later gave up. (He was later to publish a 90-page booklet, ''Blazing a trail: The story of a pioneer socialist agitator'' (The Cooperative Printing Co., 1911 ), which he described as "Interesting sketches written by Gilbert H. Poor... first socialist agitator and first state organizer of Louisiana."〔Library of Congress. Copyright Office ''Catalogue of copyright entries: Books, Volume 8, Issue 2''; p. 1047, entry 6471〕)
One historian describes him as a clergyman from Louisiana.〔Nesbit, Robert C. and William F. Thompson. ''Wisconsin: A History'' Madison: University of Wisconsin Press, 2004; p. 424〕
In 1896 he established a reform newspaper which eventually took up the cause of socialism. After running the paper about four years, the plant was destroyed by fire. In 1904 he came to Milwaukee, worked one year as an assistant engineer and then became a machinist.
