I've not heard of a service being held there for some time, are they still having them and if so when is the next one. I have wanted to visit there for a long time and I think when there having a service would be a good time. Also who owns the cemetery at this time , with the growth of Columbus is there is there any danger to the site. -----Original Message----- From: Gjsrobin@aol.com <Gjsrobin@aol.com> To: CW-POW-L@rootsweb.com <CW-POW-L@rootsweb.com> Date: Thursday, February 18, 1999 1:45 AM Subject: [CW-POW-L] Re: CW-POW-D Digest V99 #44 >Regarding Camp Chase, Columbus, Ohio: > >All that is left of Camp Chase is our Confederate Cemetery.
