Emmett Hawkins Poindexter (November 6, 1892 – October 21, 1945) was an American physician and politician who served in the Virginia House of Delegates from 1938 to 1944, representing his native Louisa County.[1]
He lived in Louisa County's Cuckoo District at historic Fredericks Hall, traditional home of the Harris family, including of Frederick Harris, first president of the Louisa Central Railroad and whose son Nathaniel was Chief of Engineers of the Southern Armies, although it was transferred after the conflict and had numerous owners.[2]
Louisa County voters first elected Dr. Poindexter to represent them (part time) in the Virginia House of Delegates in 1937, and he won re-election twice, but resigned after the 1942 regular section, thus serving from 1938-1942.[3]
