That is exactly the reason it was chosen. 

Lee's house still sits on the hill overlooking his former front yard.


I thought they took labd from Lee aka wasn't really his choice. I don't know that he would be against it

They basically stole his land via government corruption. The land was initially seized. However they placed a 90 dollar tax on the land. Gave a short time for it to be paid and when Lee's wife tried to have it paid they turned the money down. Then it went to auction and only bidder was the government who severely underbid. Probably because nobody knew it was up for bid. It wasn't decided to become a cemetery until a good while later.
