Wallace Cemetery
The Wallace Cemetery is located approximately 2mi north east of Sturgis, Ky, on the "old James Wallace farm", currently owned by J. B. Holeman. For many years this cemetery was protected by a stone fence. These stones were about 2 by 2 by 4. In recent years, these stones have been removed.
This cemetery has 41 graves with markers. Many of the grave markers were broken, knocked down or missing. All but one have been found, repaired and set up. Martha Wallaces marker has been broken and all parts have not been found.
Here is a photo of the cemetery from the north side before it was cleaned up. Notice the concrete crypt, it has many shells among the concrete. This is a photo after cleanup from the south side. The new fence was paid for by the Wallace Association. Here is a map of the cemetery.
