I found a Memphis, Shelby Co., TN death listed for Albert Sidney Dodson, born Feb. 14, 1871, died Feb. 29, 1936; son of Thomas Dodson and Ellen Myers. He was listed as widowed and occupation as Bridge Builder. He was buried in Edmondson Cemetery.
I happen to be the current record keeper for Edmondson Cemetery, Southaven, Desoto Co., MS. so I checked the records and could not find him. But this is a very old (est. 1844) cemetery with records kept by many volunteers over the years and lots of records are missing and the ones that came to me are FULL of question marks! (I am still working to sort them out)
But, I did find the following others listed in Edmondson Cemetery:
Charles Everett Logan Dodson Sr. born July 30, 1885 MS, died Jan. 16, 1953 Shelby Co., TN. Son of Thomas Dodson and Martha Logan.
Mrs. C. E. L. Dodson, Ruth Choate Dodson, born June 6, 1887, died March 20, 1939; dau. of B. T. Choate and Annie Hudgens. Death certificate says she lived at 1823 York Ave. in Memphis, TN.
Infant for Ruth Choate Dodson, no name, no dates
Infant Dodson, no other info
Martha Anne Dodson, 1909-1930
Nelda E. Dodson died (or buried) Dec. 10, 1976
Mrs. Sallie May Dodson Bowden
Charles David Martin Jr. died (or buried) 8-7-2001
Infant Ruth James Lamar, no other info
Valentine T. Dodson 1850-1897 (original owner of Lot)
Orin Eral Dodson, infant died 1902
Amanda M. Taylor

The above buried on three lots in Edmondson Cemetery.
Records show last known contacts for the owners of these lots as: Mrs. Ruth Jones Lamar, J. Dee Lamar, & Barbara Davis.

Albert Sydney Dodson may be buried in one of the unmarked spaces in these lots. (This is not uncommon in this cemetery and since he died during the depression there may have not been money for a stone)

No Bracknells listed that I can find.

Hope this helps.
