Wallace-Dickey Cemetery, Ottawa, Illinois


From August 28, 2017, WCMY 1430 AM.  "Wallace-Dickey Cemetery plans include making it public eventually."

Money raise at the Civil War reenactments near Seneca over the weekend will help pay for restoration at the Wallace-Dickey Cemetery in Ottawa.  Not many people know where it is, because it is landlocked and there aren't any  public roads to it.

Ottawa Avenue Cemetery Association President  Chuck Sanders says he'd like the public to be able to visit the site someday.  It's where two prominent Ottawa residents of the 1800s, Judge T. Lyle Dickey and General W.H.L. Wallace, are buried.
