Troy N.Y. - Oakwood Cemetery 16 - a photo on Flickriver

            Oakwood Cemetery is one of America's larger rural cemeteries, overlooking 100 miles of the Hudson Valley and the heart of Troy in upstate New York. The Troy Cemetery Association, Inc. is charged with preserving and maintaining hundreds of acres, 10-12 miles of roads, nearly 60,000 gravesites, as well as the historic Gardner Earl Memorial Chapel and Crematorium, the Queen Anne Victorian Lower Gatehouse and the Upper Gatehouse.

Gardner Earl Memorial Chapel and Crematory A cemetery is a history of people, a perpetual record of yesterday and a sanctuary of peace and quiet today. Oakwood Cemetery is about preserving this history. Since 1848 this nonsectarian rural cemetery has become the final resting place for many Americans.  Among the many trees, winding roadways, and silent hills are the graves of

    * "Uncle Sam" Wilson, the most world-famous person to ever live in New York State. Samuel Wilson of Troy was recognized by Congress in 1961 as the progenitor of the "Uncle Sam"icon which has represented us around the world for over a century and a half.
