PREACHER
IS VERY SICK
Leading COIored Minister in Ohio.
Grandfather Of Mrs. Rome
and Miss Poindexter.

The following account of the III
ness Of the Rev. James Poindexter
from the Ohio stae Journal VIII be
interesting to the people OF this
city. who know Mrs. Mary Rome
and Miss Anna Poindexter. Of this
city. who are his grandaughters.
The subject of this sketch is the
most prominent eolored man in the
State OF Ohio.
REV. James Poindexter. 81 years
old. a colored man known in many
states. is seriously III with pneu-
monia at his home in North Fourth
street. He is one of the best known
citizens Of Columbus. For many
years he has been considered a
leader among the colored population
Of the city, and was prominent
among all classes and races.
As pastor of the Second Baptist
church. a position he held for SIS
years, and In City and state oftices
of honor and responsibility. and In
educational fields, his influence has
been felt in many phases OF Column
bus life; and probably there is no
citizen today who is regarded with
greater veneration and respect than
lhe.
Rev. Mr.. Poindexter first came to
Columbus in 1898 from Richmond,
Va, a youth of 10. He was practie-
tically self-educated; for, from THE
time he was 10 years old, he had
worked at the BARRIERS trade. But
his love for reading and keen desire
for scholarship and information tri-
umphed; and when he came to Ohio
he was ready to preach, and took up
the ministry. which he left only
few years ago on account OF the in
creasing innrmities Of age. Rev.
Mr.. Poindenter has been an inyeter-
ate reader all his life. Shakespeare
and the Bible are his two stand
bys,' and he has always been able
to quote long passages from either
at moments notice.
For nine years Rev. Mr.. Poindex-
ter was a valued member OF the
city school board, and for four years
he served in the city council. His
interest in politics is keen, and he
has always been devoted to the Re-
publican party. He is an easy and
persuasive speaker. and in 1875 he
took the stump for Hayes, and was
much talked of at that time for a
foreign mission. In 1872 he went
to the Republican convention at
Philadelphia IN the interest of Gov
ernor Dennison, who was candidate
for the vice-presidency.
Governor Foster appointed him
trustee for the Institution for the
Blind, a position he held for some
years. and he has also been a mem
Der of the State Board of Forestry,
and a trustee of wilberforce univer-
sity. For many years he has been
familiar figure at State Republic
can conventions. where he has often
acted as chaplain. On one election
day IT is reported that some one
asked him what he had done, and
he promptly replied:
I have served God. myself and
my country to the best of my abil-
ity.'
