Lutesville, Missouri
Lutesville was a city in Bollinger County, Missouri.[1] It was adjacent to and southwest of Marble Hill on Route 51 and Route 34. In 1869, the city was laid out to secure a St. Louis, Iron Mountain and Southern Railway depot location. It was named for its founder, Eli Lutes.[2][3] The railroad ceased operations through Lutesville in 1973.
