Samuel Wilson was a meat-packer from Troy, New York whose name is purportedly the source of the personification of the United States, known as "Uncle Sam." He died on 31 July 1854.

Uncle Sam, as the personification of the United States, the way John Bull is a personification of Great Britain, has not and cannot die because personifications do not live or die - they are symbols.
