The Columbus Dispatch June 2, 1998 page 2C said: Sunday service honors Confederate soldiers Joe Briggs Jr., a descendant of the pioneer family whose name is on a road, a high school and a community in western Franklin County, will once again sound taps Sunday at the 103rd memorial service at Camp Chase Confederate Cemetery. Briggs, 68, first took up the bugle while a student at Columbia Military Academy in Tennessee. He resumed his duties with the horn at the cemetery?s 100th anniversary service in 1995. The cemetery, 2900 Sullivant Ave, is the final resting place for 2,060 sons of the South who died while prisoners of war. It is the last remaining section of a Union Army camp set up for the Civil War. This year?s public ceremony, sponsored by the Hilltop Historical Society, will begin at 3 p.m. Hilltop resident Ed Beeman, this year?s featured speaker, will discuss life at the camp and its historical importance. Beeman said his interest in the camp stems in part from the fact that his home in Westgate is on former camp ground. Out of deference to those buried at Camp Chase, Briggs said he will face south as he sounds the mournful tribute that will end the ceremony. -- (:}) JWCramer-HillTopUSA jcramer@freenet.columbus.oh.us Also John.Cramer@das.State.OH.US Beware of the Genealogy Bug; It's bite can be addictive.
