This family lost much in the tornado of 1932. According to Elizabeth Haas, Bertie and two of her daughters died in the tornado, which also killed many people in the Paint Rock Valley. A third child was wrapped in a mattress to protect it from the storm. The tornado drove the mattress into a tree and completely shredded it, but the baby survived. Alex Bradford survived the storm and had every stitch of clothes blown off his body and never recovered his senses. Mother and two daughters are buried together. Son Henry died three years later of pneumonia. Alex died in 1938 and is buried in Old Baptist Cemetery with his family.
