"The Humphreys and Fergusons and the Summers were the three pioneer families to settle in Nelson county, on the site of the present town of Bardstown. Near there they erected their log cabins, and while so doing, situated on the very frontier of civilization, shot deer and had many encounters with the hostile Indians. The establishment of homes in this beautiful region therefore meant sacrifices. hardships and ofttimes death but there were some men brave enough to meet the red man in his own familiar haunts and undertake the task of reclaiming the district for purposes of civilization and the courage and intrepidity which marked these men of strong and enduring character could hardly fail to be transmitted to their descendants."
