"The Great Miami was a natural waterway for trading purposes up the river from Dayton as well as below. The first boats that were used for trade were flat boats and keelboats. The latter was built similar to canal boats but somewhat slighter and sharper. "The boats were often loaded with produce, taken in exchange for goods, work, or even for lots and houses, because business men, instead of having money to deposit in the bank or to invest, were frequently obliged to send cargoes of articles received in place of cash, south or north for sale. Cherry and walnut logs and lumber were brought down the river by rafts. The flatboat men sold their boats when they arrived at New Orleans, and buying a horse, returned home by land. "Flatboats were made of green oak plank fastened by wooden pins to a frame of timber, and caulked with tow or any other pliant substance that could be procured, and were enclosed and roofed with boards. They were only used in descending streams, and floated with the current. Long sweeping oars fastened at both ends of the boat, worked by men standing on the deck, were employed to keep it in the channel, and in navigating difficult and dangerous places in the river."John Noble Cumming Schenck remained Franklin's postmaster from 1805 until August 7, 1829. In 1800 Mr. Martin Baum of Cincinnati set him up in business in Franklin. His store at 310 S. Front Street became one of the most important trading posts between Dayton and Hamilton. In 1812 Schenck moved his home and trading post to north of the bridge, 119 S. Front Street where a pier was erected at the rear of the building to the river's edge so flatboats could dock. Free rooms and abundant food were available for travelers. Schenck retired a wealthy man after 35 years with his store. He had twelve children, seven of whom were living when he died at the age of 93 in 1867."
