Colored image of the steamboat Greenwood at the wharf at the end of Market Street. The Greenwood was built by Captain Greene at Parkersburg, WV and completed in Ironton. On her maiden trip, October, 1898, she left Portsmouth and sank when she hit a snag at the mouth of the Scioto River. She was raised and repaired and ran the Cincinnati-Pomeroy-Charleston trades until she collided with the Chris Greene and sank in 1925.
Colored image of Union Mills. The grist mill was built by Lemuel Moss in 1834. David Gibson built a distillery nearby in 1857. George Davis bought and operated both businesses until shortly before his death in 1894.
