Reported age at time of death was 30 or 35 years, so evidently born about 1835 or 1840. She is probably Sophia KERCHHEIMER who married 10 JUN 1862 in Muscogee County, Georgia, to John F. WILDING.
Buster Wright's "Burials and Deaths Reported in the Columbus (Georgia) Enquirer [Newspaper], 1832-1872" (1984), p. 506, shows: Mrs. WILDING, wife of the boot-maker, died 21 FEB 1870, aged 30 years, in Columbus, Georgia (published 22 FEB 1870):

She did so, and in a short time a servant ran down, saying she was dying Dr. GRIMES was immediately called but before he arrived life was extinct. It is said she died of heart disease. The lady was, we suppose, about thirty years of age." [Columbus (GA) Enquirer newspaper, Tuesday, 22 FEB 1870, p. 3.]
The 1870 census of Ward 4, Columbus, Muscogee County, Georgia, shows: Charles [stricken, replaced with:] Frederick WILDING (aged45 years, born in Prussia, boot & shoe maker, personal estate valued at $200), with children (all born in Georgia) Henry (7), Amelia (5), Halena (4), & Frederick (2), as well as Christopher WILDING (41 Prussia, boot & shoe maker) & Emma (22 GA, keeping house). [Note the following marriages in Muscogee County, Georgia: John F. WILDING 10 JUN 1862 to Sophia KERCHHEIMER; Charles WILDING 07 JUN 1866 Lucy Ann DUNCAN; G. C. WILDING 26 JAN 1869 to Emma COLEMAN.]
Mary Jane Galer's list of persons interred in the New Cemetery area of Linwood shows: Mrs. WILDING, female, born in Germany, died aged 35 years in Columbus, Georgia, of congestion of lungs; buried 22 FEB 1870 in Section C, Lot 148 - Sexton James LYNAH.
Note also, Mary Jane Galer's list of persons interred in the New Cemetery area of Linwood shows: F. WILDING, disinterred [date not reported] from Section C, Lot 148, to Upper [Confederate] Soldier's Lot, with tablet; CSA. [Probably the same as this man.]

[Columbus (GA) Enquirer newspaper, Tuesday, 28 AUG 1877, p. 4.]
