The train was met by Mayor Curt Siegelin, who placed a wreath on the casket in behalf of the city, and a delegation from the American Legion. The Legion was in charge of military rites at the Veterans Plot in Ponemah Cemetery this morning when Recruit Brady was buried. Reverend W R Fowler officiated at the service. He is survived by his mother, Mrs Emma Brady, 1104 Warren Street; brothers, Lawrence and Dewey Brady of Bogalusa, and Audie Brady of Jackson, Missississippi; and sister Mrs.Dwight Beard a resident of the Terrace.
