Mary Jane Galer's "COLUMBUS, GA: Lists of People, 1828-1852, and Sexton's Reports to 1866" (2000), p. 198, shows: Mrs. ADAMS died of typhus fever [age not reported] and was buried 09 MAY 1854 (from "April, May, June 1854, Sexton's Report of death in the City," dated 24 JUL 1854). [Note that, while the titles of some of the Sexton's quarterly reports use language such as "Report of Deaths in the City," these reports are actually an accounting of burials in the city cemeteries (now called Linwood and Porterdale). They include persons who died outside the city of Columbus but were interred in the municipal cemeteries there and exclude persons who died in Columbus but were buried elsewhere. The sexton then was Thomas NIX.] John H. Martin's "The Making of a Modern City: Columbus, Georgia, 1827-65," Volume II (1875), p.79 (from the version of the Sexton's report published in the local newspaper), confirms the record.
This grave is evidently not identifiably marked. Based on the burial date, this grave would be in the Old Cemetery section or Section 1 (unless it was subsequently reinterred to another part of the cemetery).
