I think his name was Benson Smith, and he may be buried at Mt. Olivet. He was in and out of Central State Hospital roughly about the same time my great-grandfather James Lawson Steele was there. They may have known each other. Hard to say though. James Steele died 1919, and I THINK General Smith died about 1924.

The records are on microfilm at the Tennessee State Library and Archives and at the Metro Nashville Archives. The interment record gives the name, section, grave # etc. The plat maps of the cemetery are also on microfilm at both archives. With the plats and interment books you should be able to determine place of burial (or very close) even without a stone.
