Many states have laws that once a cemetery is established the bodies can only be removed with the families permission. If they can't find the family, the bodies are not to be moved.
At Maxwell AFB off the end of one of the runways is a small 10 plot cemetery that had dates back into the late 1700s and early 1800s. It had a 1 foot tall fence and was not really maintained except to keep trees from growing in it. We asked about it and were told it was a slave grave, but who really knows. All the kids on bikes knew where it was and it was so close to the end of the runway it was a off limits area, but kids are invincible and no base cop was going to chase after us as we knew the trails in the area really well.
