How respectful. ??? I found it interesting.

A pair of grave makers are embedded into Runway 10 at this airport, in remembrance to the Dotson Family who used to own the land. One of the graves dates back to 1857. The law states that next of kin need to authorize the moving of family graves, and when they couldn’t be located, the airport engineers let them be.

So there are people buried under the runway?  Nice.

They are probably people who protested the airport expansion. ;)

They were expendable.

Not to sound cold but what's it matter?  Really, no next of kin and dead people don't talk.  It appears to be the most respectful thing to have done.
