Dedication Of Samuel Smith Memorial Park
12 August 1976
Fort Campbell, Kentucky
DEPARTMENT OF THE ARMY
HEADQUARTERS 101ST AIRBORNE DIVISION (AIR ASSAULT) AND FORT CAMPBELL
FORT CAMPBELL, KENTUCKY 42223
MEMORIALIZATION
12 August 1976
From this date on the cemetery and environs located at coordinates DR 468535, Fort Campbell Kentucky, are hereby designated as the SAMUEL SMITH MEMORIAL PARK in honor of Private Samuel Smith, a soldier in the Army of the United States during the American Revolution.
Samuel Smith was born in Warren County, North Carolina. He enlisted in the Army of the United States in 1778 in Warren County, North Carolina and, again, in 1779 with Captains Allen and Hopkins and Colonels Lytle and Green. He participated in the Battle of Brier Creek with great distinction. He later retired with private pension file number 7560. Samuel Smith died 16 January 1837 in Montgomery County, Tennessee and is interred in the cemetery in this park named in his honor.

Information about the burials entered by Julia M. was furnished by Ft. Campbell. The pictures were taken by my cousin, Grace Shannon, who arranged a military escort to visit the cemetery. I believe the location on the map is about right, but you'll need a military escort to see it anyway.
