Mary Jane Galer's "COLUMBUS, GA: Lists of People, 1828-1852, and Sexton's Reports to 1866" (2000), p. 246, shows: W. T. ABBOTT died aged 60 years (cause of death not reported) and was buried 09 SEP 1864, as a resident of Columbus, Georgia (so probably died there; from "July to October, 1864, report of Sexton for 3d qtr.," dated 10 OCT 1864). [The sexton at that time was Robert Thomas SIMONS.] John H. Martin's "The Making of a Modern City: Columbus, Georgia, 1827-65," Volume II (1875), p. 173 (from the version of the sexton's quarterly report that was published in the local newspaper,) confirms the record.
This grave is evidently not identifiably marked.
