CAPT. JOHN WATERMAN

! Among the hundreds of revo-
lutlonary patriots buried at Valley
Forge during the encampment OF
Washington's army during the
terrible winter ofl777 and 1778
only one grave is marked and that
the grave of Captain John Water
man, the Rhode Island patriot
Waterman's grave is on an emf
nence several hundred yards back
from the SchuylkilI river, on the
farm Of 1. Heston Todd, and about
equidistant betweet Valley Forge
village and Port Kennedy. It is
a picturesque spot, overlooking the
Valley of the Schuylkill on the
north and the beautiful Chester
Valley on the south. It is near
where the log huts once stood, and
In one Of which Waterman is sup
posed to have died.
Rhode Islands Memorial.
About three years ago and soon
after Waterman's grave was locat-
ed the Governor Of Rhode Island
and number of prominent mem
bers Of the Rhode Island Histori-
cal Society visited Valley Forge
and completed arrangements for
the erection of a proper memorial
to Waterman. The matter was
brought before the Legislature of
that state and $4,000 was appro-
prlated to erect a granite monu-
ment over the grave. The shaft
was prepared in Rhode Island and
sent to Valley Forge and placed
over the grave, a number of promi-
nent officials of the state being
present at the time.
The monument is plain shaft
OF Rhode Island granite, bearing
a simple inscription carved there
on, as but little data concerning
Waterman could be obtained
The shaft stands about seven feet
high and is four feet thick at the
base and has rough unpublished
finish. Quite recently a strong
wire covering was placed over the
grave and monument by patriotic
Rhode Islanders to keep the relic
hunters from desecrating the
stones, as they had begun to break
chips from the granite shaft as
souvenirs:
Heroic Memories.
AS soon as the weather will per-
NIT thirty granite makers will be
erected at the different places of
historic interest at Valley Forge,
the surveys for the work having
just been completed by Colonel
Nathaniel M. Ellis, the veteran
engineer of Phoenixville. These
markers are all on the ground, and
when planted will be about seven
feet high.
Valley Forge Chapter Of the
Daughters of the American Revo-
luton Of Norristown are about to

Forge, and they will give an

quarters are in bad repair and
their efforts are both timely and
patriotic and should be com
