Uncle Sam Grave to Get Two Monuments at Last
The Philip Schuyler Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution plans to replace Uncle Sam's simple Oakwood Cemetery marker with a fitting memorial, honoring the man said to inspire the nation's nickname. Samuel Wilson, born in 1760 in Mason New Hampshire, became known as Uncle Sam after supplying meat to soldiers and the US government during early wars, with the nickname reputedly stemming from contractor initials EA and US on Army shipments.
