As Tate Brady’s granddaughter, I would like to make a correction with respect to his burial place. From the time of his death in 1925 he was interred in the Brady mausoleum at Rose Hill Cemetery until my grandmother (Rachel Cassandra Davis Brady) died in 1962. Shortly thereafter his remains were moved next to her grave in the Davis plot at Oak Lawn Cemetery. He was never buried in a mass grave. Rachel Joan Brady Garrett
