Hello:

I don't usually report negative results, but in this case I'll make an exception. Sometimes, it's just good to know that someone did hear your question, and did, indeed, perform a little research. I spent a couple of hours looking at some of the closer military cemeteries & others in the area, to no avail. Also ran keywords through various newspaper databases, old magazines, etc. Please keep monitoring the site and maybe me or someone will yet have a breakthrough. I did note this item that was widely printed in various newspapers within a week or two of your ancestor's death. While it doesn't help wth your major question, it is of general interest.

After reading it, I'll bet that the bodies were buried right there at the camp near Bowling Green, wherever that was.
