Along The Way By Emily Killetfe f Duplin has been fortunate and today we can look back into history and find dedicated men in areas of business, agriculture and medicine. These men helped build a strong foundation for our county. And, many times the only insight we have into the lives of our forefathers is what has been written in old news paper articles, family Bibles, and church or civic club records. Dr. and Mrs. John D. Robinson of Wallace used a great many sources including oral family history and old records to compile an article about the past and present physicians of their town.
