Information 

Sir,
  It's hard to find information seeing as how a tornado destroyed the Lincoln County courthouse with all the records in the 1930's. There is a small historical archive building a few blocks downtown from the courthouse. Also, People from Carney, Tryon, etc. may have information as well. I don't know what's left of the ghost towns like Avery and Parkland, but it might be usefull to look there too.
