Small boys leg.
It was unlawful in the past to dispose of any body parts. People were required by law to purchase a grave plot for the limb or limbs lost. Many planned to be buried in the plot after they died. This did not always happen. It is believed this young boys leg is what has been buried in the plot. Where he is actually buried not known at this time.
Suggested edit: Sometime between 1910 and 1920 the family moved to Denver, Colorado. There is a WWI Draft card that shows his nearest relative is Horace Lee Brady (Uncle), so he must have been named after his uncle. The uncle's address is at the Jefferson Hotel in St. Louis, Missouri. I am not sure why he did not list his parents because in 1920 he was living with them. The back of the card does indicate that he is missing his left leg. Contributor: Tiffany Mims (49404925) •
