Graves underwater at Keowee

I thought that all the graves had been re-interred at different sites, before they flooded the Keowee/Jocassee valley. I know some of our family members (Dodgens) were moved to Tabor Church. I just saw the video on YouTube about the book Debbie Fletcher wrote "Whippoorwill Farewell - Jocassee Remembered". Very interesting video. In the video, divers dove down into the lake and found the old Attakulla Lodge still standing! It also showed some grave-markers indicating there were people still buried there! Does anyone know that some of the graves are still under 300 ft. of water? How sad that those folks were not moved too.
