The cemetery is on 33rd Avenue, south of Kirkwood which runs east and west through the former village of Wick. Today only a few residences are located along Kirkwood. The cemetery is managed by the Wallace Cemetery Association. On August 27 of 1870 John and Julia Wallace conveyed title for the land to the Wallace Cemetery Association. To get to the cemetery take U.S. Highway 92 east from I-35 or west from Indianola. Turn south on County Highway R-45 (40th Street) which is a concrete highway. After about 1« miles turn right onto Kirkwood which is paved with asphalt. Travel on Kirkwood for about mile to 33rd Avenue. Turn left and travel about ¬ mile on a gravel road to the cemetery which is on the right-hand side of the road. The cemetery is laid out in rows running north and south. There are 15 rows in the cemetery but only the first 10 rows have a large number of interments. The rest have only a few burials, mostly at the north end of the rows. For the purpose of this directory I have chosen to label the rows A through Q. The rows are numbered from 1 to whatever amount of interments in the individual rows. For example: Row A which is located along 33rd Avenue contains 65 markers. There are a total of about 560 interments in the cemetery as of September 2000. The data for this directory was acquired by walking the cemetery on three different occasions in 1998, 1999, and September 2000. Additional information was taken from obituaries read at the Public Library in Indianola, and a number of other sources including the Social Security Death Index, Family Search.org, and Ancestry.com. ====
