The National Park Service will reassess the 152 report on Samuel Wilson as the progenitor of Uncle Sam and the national symbol. The Records Newspapers request prompts a fresh review by a qualified panel to confirm the historic recognition amid ongoing discussions and related local and national interest.
A 1958 article recall of Uncle Sam Wilson as the progenitor of the national symbol spurs Troy leaders to seek federal recognition and a national shrine. The plan, supported by the Greater Troy Chamber and Rep. Henry W. O’Neill, rests on Historic Sites Act authority and National Park Service studies to reappraise Wilson’s place in U S history.
A garbled report lists lodge members and officers including Mrs Lila Bulson and Mrs Nora Dunbar with titles like chaplain guard and recording secretary. Name fragments and misread phrases obscure roles, but several women such as Edith Nelson Shirley Berney Myra Dick Stella Haynes and Mildred Haynes appear as officers, while other lines mention Ollivers Pleasant Valley and McGreedy as grand or noble figures.
