Camp Chase was named after Lincoln's Secretary of the Treasury, and former Ohio governor Salmon Chase. It was on the National Road (Route 40, Broad Street). It was first used to train Ohio volunteers, and as a muster station. It became a prison for civilians thought to be engaging with the secessionist forces, and government; and then captured confederate soldiers. Many of the deaths came from small pox. The Us government bought the remaining two acres to use as the present cemetery.
Jeff Davis Day is remembered on an American government sign?
The stone arch replaced a wooden one in 1902. A bronze confederate stands on top.
WSYX ABC 6 tweeted this foto 22 August 2017. The statue was thrown down, and its head was gone. The hat remained. It is believed this was done in response to Unite the Right "rally" on the campus of the University of Virginia, and the city of Charlottesville, which included a homicide by an Ohio trumpster who drove into a crowd of people. A varied assortment of Nazis, neo-Confederates, klansmen, white supremacists, and other deplorables, and supporters of Trump, came to protest the removal of confederate statues. In May 2019, the repaired Ohio statue was placed atop the arch again. When i photographed on 29 June of this year, a security guard was walking he inside perimeter.Official estimate is 2,168 buried in 2,122 spots. The boulder has been there since 1897.
