Thanks BroJoeK.

[snip] Superintendent of Finances Robert Morris started the Bank of North America, but in order for it to be successful, required men like Salomon to subscribe to the bank, find purchasers for government bills of exchange, and lend their own money to the government. When Haym Salomon died in January 1785, he held $353,000, largely in depreciated certificates of indebtedness and continental currency, all which were virtually worthless. The Pennsylvania Packet wrote “He was remarkable for his skill and integrity in his profession and for his generous and humane deportment.” (bio by: Maude) Inscription: “An American Patriot” [/snip]

I passed by both their graves many, many times when I lived in the colonial part of Philadelphia. Great patriots.
