D. W. Poindexter
Mitchell County
Commenced the practice of law in Mitchell in 1854. He was a native of the New England States. After two or three years' of practice at Mitchell, owing to the fact that it was not a financial success, he removed to Charles City, where he remained two years. At the end of this time he returned to Mitchell, remaining there until 1871, when he again changed his base of operations, removing to Osage. Mr. Poindexter represented Mitchell County in the Eleventh General Assembly, 1868. He continued the practice of law with good success in Osage until the spring of 1883, when he went to Dakota. Mr. Poindexter is referred to as being a man of good legal ability, unassuming, generous, and a man of good character.
