According to findagrave.com, the cemetery would not tell visitors where Oswald was buried. Someone bought the plot next to Oswald and put the name Nick Beef. People would get directions to Nick Beef's (fake) grave to find Oswald. The cemetery caught on later and stopped telling people where that grave was because no one was really buried there. Smart way to find a grave before technology was available to share directions.
