Location: The Ottokee Cemetery is located at the southwestern edge of the village of Ottokee. A drive running some twenty-five rods south from CR J provides access to the grounds. (NE 1/4, Sec 2, T7N, R6E.)

History: The Ottokee burial ground dates from early settlement. Historian Frank Reighard believed circa 1838, while Lewis Aldrich gave the year 1846 when Betsy Knapp was buried at the site.

 In 1853 the Ottokee Cemetery Association organized and purchased two acres of land from the estate of Alonzo Knapp. This parcel, adjoining the village plat of Ottokee, contains the grave of Bettsy Knapp who died June 12, 1846.

For ease of recording the cemetery has been divided into three sections as noted on the northwest corner of each section.
