JD Lail asked: "I have a question about the records of the Rev. Polycarp C. Hinkle. We used a record of him preaching a funeral for Peter Lagle/Lail in 1883 to date his passing."

A typed version of Rev. Hinkle's records exists. It might be in the North Carolina Room at the Patrick Beaver Memorial Library in Hickory. Janey Deal, Local History/Genealogy Librarian, could tell you: jdeal@hickorync.gov
