John H. Martin’s “The Making of a Modern City: Columbus, Georgia, 1827-65,” Volume II (1875), p. 101, shows on a list of deaths for 1857: Mrs. SEABORN, 20 OCT (from a version of the Sexton's quarterly report - presumed to be date of burial).
Mary Jane Galer's "COLUMBUS, GA: Lists of People, 1828-1852, and Sexton's Reports to 1866" (2000), p. 213, shows: Mrs. SEABORN died (age not reported) of "child bed" [= complications from childbirth]; buried 20 OCT 1857 (from "October 1, 1857 to January 1, 1858, Sexton's Report," dated 07 JAN 1858).
This grave is probably not identifiably marked. Based on the burial date, it would be in either the Old Cemetery section, Section 1, or Section 2, unless it was subsequently moved, as the balance of the Linwood Cemetery area had not yet been opened up for burials.
