NATIONAL SHAINE IN NOBLE GOUNTY

JOINT RESOLUTION INTRODUCED BY CONGRESSMAN HOGG CALLS FOR $25,000 MEMORIAL

Would Be Placéd in Chapel Cemetery Merriam at Grave of Samuel Wison Whose Body is There

Noble county may become naticnally famous if names count for anything, says the Kendallville News-Sun. Samuel Wilson from whom was derived the name “Uncle Sam” the national nickname of the United States lies buried in an obscure cemetery at Merriam south of Albion according to records and claims made by John Wilson son® of Samuel Wilson who is now 93 years old and resides at Alhion. ‘

On April 13 Congressman David Hogg of the twelfth district introduced a joint resolution' No. 271 providing for the erection of a memorial estimated to cost $25,000, to Samuel Wilson by whose sobriguet “Uncle Sam” the United States of America are popularly designated. The resontion was referred to the committee on the library and ordered printed. : Joint Resolation . “Whereas Samuel Wilson affectionately called *““Uncle Sam” by all who knew him was a typical American citizen representative of American ideals and a staunch defender of American principles having aceompanied Lewis and Clark on their expedition in 1804-1805, having been cited for gallantry for his part as a quarter-gunner on the United States ship Constitution in her historic battle wit hthe British ship Guerriere in 1812 and having served in the United States army in the war of 1812 as ' a private in Captain David Horeland's company fifth regiment Pennsylvania militia; and :

“Whereas ‘Uncle Sam’ was the father of three daughters and seven sons, six of whom served in the forces of the United States during the clvil war, two of them giving their lives in line of duty; and “Whereas the original ‘Uncle Sam’ was born just two week after the ,{1128& Bybt was fired for Aml&iem pendence which he lived to uphold and protect for onc hundred” years and three days departing this.life May 7 1876; and : -

“Whereas his sobriquet, ‘Uncle Sam’ through a well known Incident while he was employed as a government inspector of provisions in the war of 1812 eame to be used to designate the United States of America, and for a century the appellation has been familiar throughout the world; and.

“Whereas the grave of Samuel Wilson is a site of national historical significance -and should be appropriately and permanently marked: There fore be it

. “Resolved by the senate and house of representatives of the United States in congress assembled, That the secretary of war is authorized and directed to erect a suitable memorial to Samuel Wilson in Chapel cemetery at Merriam, Indiana where his remains now rest.

“Sec. 2. The plans for such memorial shall be subject to the approval of the national commission of fine arts.

“Sec. 3. There is hereby authorized to be appropriated the sum of $25,000 or so much thereof as may be necessary to carry out the provisions of this act.” The introduction of the resolution will probably result in some careful investigation of records and if the original Uncle Sam lies buried in this county, there is every reason to believe that the resolution will be unanimously adopted. Another Wilson family in the east also lays claim to the honors.
