Wallace
Cemetery
Soddy-Daisy, Tennessee

Wallace Cemetery is located in Soddy-Daisy, TN.  J. A. Wallace donated the land for the cemetery about 1830. In the late 1930s, the Tennessee Valley Authority surveyed Wallace Cemetery, prior to the flooding of Sequoia Reservoir, to determine if the cemetery should be relocated. At that time, Wallace Cemetery "contained 158 well kept graves, all well above the pool contour." Many of the graves were unmarked. The WPA also surveyed the cemetery in the late 1930s. There were only 13 visible markers found when this survey was conducted.  Most in a small, well kept area. The remainder of the cemetery was so overgrown that it was impossible to locate other markers. This survey is a combination of the TVA and WPA surveys and additions from my own survey. Take Highway 27 (Corridor J) north to Soddy-Daisy and take the Hixson Pike/Soddy Daisy exit. Turn left, go 2/10 miles to Dayton Pike and turn right. Go north on Dayton Pike 3/10 of a mile and turn right on Hixson Pike. Wallace cemetery lies on the left side of the road, 4/10 of a mile from Dayton Pike.
