ISAAC HINKLE, son of Henry and Sarah Hinkle, of Lancaster County, was born March 
4, 1832, grew to manhood on the home farm and was educated at the district 
school.  For five years, from 1858, he farmed for Hahn & Himes, at Woodstock, 
and then, in 1863, moved to Mr. Miflin’s place, known as the “Woodbine Farm.”  
In 1879 he bought his present place of about 133 acres, on which are a good 
stone dwelling and a large bank barn, and here he largely carries on farming and 
also dairying.  In 1858 he married Elizabeth, daughter of Jacob and Elizabeth 
Kauffman of Lancaster County.  Besides being a successful agriculturist, Mr. 
Hinkle is a stockholder in the Wrightsville and Chanceford turnpike company, and 
in the Wrightsville Hardware Company.  Mrs. Hinkle is a member of the Lutheran
