Show THE BULLETIN Original Uncle Sam a Butcher Troy, N. Y., Claims Sam Wilson of Its Town Was Artists Model. Uncle Sam was spread until it came to be a national colloquialism. Hayner wrote in a historical record that Anderson and Wilson shipped meat to troops in casks marked with their initials. But instead of using S. W., Wilson used the initials for "Uncle Sam, so that the casks were labeled E. A. U. S. In explanation of how the meat packers name came to sign'fy the United States, Hgyner recounted this incident: When a large consignment of meat was awaiting shipment a party of visitors landed at this dock and on seeing this pile of freight, inquired of the watchman (an Irishman who was one of Uncle Sams employees) who the owners were, and the watchman replied: It's all marked, sir, and belongs to Mr. Anderson and Uncle Sam.'

Hogan, said Troy was prepared to defend its right to be called Uncle Sams home. Several years ago a monument was dedicated in Oakwood cemetery where Wilson was buried. A tablet states that Wilson was the "original Uncle Sam. Wilson was bom in 1767. He died July 31, 1854. A somewhat similar version of Uncle Sam has arisen in the South. At Daleville, Miss., a historical society believes Ccn. Sam Dale was the man who typified Uncle Sam. He also provided provisions for soldiers in the War of 1812 and was called "Uncle Sam by Tennessee mountaineers in Gen. Andrew Jacksons army. Find lluins in Peru Of Around 500 A. D.
