CHAPTER IV.
THE MEXICAN WAR.
ONE Company was raised in Lucas County for service in the War with Mexico. O that, Daniel Chase, then of Manhattan, was the Captain. It left Toledo for the field May 18, 1847. The Toledo Guards, Captain Willey, turned out on the occasion to escort the Company to the Steamboat; and the citizens, through Judge Myron H. Tilden, presented Captain Chase with a sword. Little can be learned of the service of this Company; but what is known, is creditable to men and officers. It was Company B, 15th United States Infantry.
