Miss Bradley rests in peace with her parents and a brother in the family plot in Fairfield Cemetery. According to her Findagrave page, she was a budding student at the time of her death due to typhoid fever. The broken column marking her final resting place stands between eight and ten feet tall, with a wreath of flowers near the top. An inscription scroll on the front reads:

Bessie Goldsby

The family name, "Bradley", is on the reverse plinth, and above it is an epitaph:

Fold her O Father in thine arms
And let her henceforth be
A messenger of love between
Our human hearts and thee
