This excerpt from Hahn's Bits of History describes the early history and first white settlers of Bollinger County, specifically the Lutesville region. John Lorance, Col. Bollinger, and Eli Deck are recorded as the first pioneers to settle in Lutesville and Glen Allen, Daniel Hahn settled at Possum Creek (then Hahn Creek). Later the Benge route of the Trail of Tears would pass through these settlers' properties. A photograph of a 1957 plaque commemorating the the founding history of Marble Hill and photos of the road between Lutesville and Marble Hill and the Swinging Bridge are also featured.
