SPANISH-AMERICAN WAR.
(From a History of the Ohio National Guard, by the Cleveland Plain Dealer Publishing Co.)
When the war with Spain was declared, Co. L, of the Ohio National Guard, enlisted at Wapakoneta, Ohio, was ordered to rendezvous at Kenton, where they were enrolled for the volunteer service, April 25, 1898. Four days later they were ordered to the general rendezvous for Ohio troops at Camp Bushnell, Colum- bus. The company went into camp at this place April 29, and was mustered into the volunteer service as Company L, of the Second Regiment, O. V. U. S. I., May 10, 1898. On May 10, 1898, the regiment was ordered to Camp George H. Thomas, Chickamauga Park, Ga., where they were brigaded with the Ist Pennsylvania and the 14th Minnesota as the 3d Brigade, 2nd Division. Col. Charles A. Van Duzee, of the 14th Minnesota, was placed in tem- porary command of the brigade, and was later succeeded by Col. Kuert, of the 2nd Ohio, who retained the command until succeeded by Brigadier Gen. Rosser, the regular appointee, to the command of the brigade. The division was under the command of Brig. Gen. Arnold, who was soon relieved and sent to Cuba, the command

reverting to Colonel Van Duzee until Brig. Gen. Poland assumed command. The 2nd Ohio participated in the grand parade of sixty thousand troops at Chickamauga Park, Ga., and each of the three battalions received from four to five days instruction in target practice during the period of their stay at this general rendezvous for United States troops. On August 28, the regiment received orders to move to Knoxville, Tenn. Pursuant to instructions the 2nd Ohio marched to Rossville, Ga., from which point they were transported by rail to their destination. General Poland died in Nashville, Tenn., after a short illness, and the command of the division passed successively to Generals McKee, Randall and Sny- der. Upon arriving at Knoxville, Col. Van Duzee again assumed command of the brigade and was succeeded by Col. Kuert until Gen. Rosser resumed his command. The 2nd Ohio remained at Camp Poland, Knoxville, Tenn., until Nov. 15, 1898, when they were ordered to Camp Torrence, Macon, Ga., arriving Nov. 16, 1898.
The 2nd Ohio was not favored with active service in foreign lands and consequently passed through the regular routine of camp life from the period of its muster in until finally mustered out at Macon, Ga., Feb. 10, 1899.

DUCHOUQUET TOWNSHIP.
This township includes all of Town V South, Range VI East, and the southern tier of sections of Town IV South, Range VI East, making an aggregate of forty-two sections. Originally it formed a part of Allen county. Immediately following the de- parture of the Shawnee Indians in 1832, a few pioneers settled at Wapakoneta and along the Auglaize river.
In February, 1833, a meeting of the citizens of Wapakoneta and adjoining settlements was held at the house of Jeremiah Ayers, a citizen of the village. A petition, drafted and signed by all the citizens present, praying for the establishment of a township to be known as Duchouquet township, was presented to the com- missioners of Allen county at a regular meeting held at Lima, March 4th, 1833. The township petitioned for was established, and the citizens of Wapakoneta and vicinity were authorized to hold an election of township officers at the house of J. Ayers in Wapakoneta on the second Monday of the ensuing April. At that election officers were elected as follows :
Peter Hammell, William Patton and Shadrack Montgomery, trus- tees; James Elliott, clerk; John Tam, treasurer; Beal Spurier, Samuel Howell and William Spray, supervisors; Alonzo Neal and Samuel Howell, overseers of the poor; Bryant McNamore and Jacob Thatcher, fence viewers ; Henry VonBlaricome and John Campbell, constables.

WAPAKONETA.
Wapakoneta, the county seat of the county and the chief town of Duchouquet township, was originally the site of an Indian village, settled by the Shawnee Indians after their expulsion from the Piqua towns in 1780. "It enjoys the distincton of having, with possibly a single exception - 'Pataskala' - the most original and musical name in the state."
There seems to be some uncertainty among authorities con- cerning the personage after whom the village was named. John Johnston, the Indian agent at Piqua at the time the Shawnees. occupied Wapakoneta and the surrounding country, states that "it was named after an Indian chief long since dead, but who sur- vived years after my.intercourse commenced with the Shawnees.
