In Mary Jane Galer's "COLUMBUS, GA: Lists of People, 1828-1852, and Sexton's Reports to 1866" (published in 2000), her transcription of quarterly sexton reports, gleaned from the Columbus city council minutes, states that no Sexton reports were found covering burials from April to September of1860. However, half of the 10 pages of deaths recorded in the 1860 census mortality schedule for Muscogee County, Georgia, were taken from the sexton quarterly reports and include White burials for April, May and June of 1860, so we know those persons are buried in Linwood Cemetery.
The 1860 census mortality schedule for Muscogee County, Georgia, reports a child of Miss BEDELL -- reported to be a female, though that category appears not to be entirely reliable in this source -- died aged 5 years of typhoid fever and was buried in April 1860. All persons listed are reported to have been born in Georgia, so that also may not be accurate. (Although the sexton report from which this record was taken would have included the day of burial, the census mortality schedule only called for the month of death, so that is all that was provided with these. The sexton was Henry M. HARRIS.)
1860 federal census of Columbus, Muscogee County, Georgia, Dwelling #121 / Household #121: Albert G. BEDELL (37 GA), merchant, holds no real estate but personal estate valued at $1,400; Eliza BEDELL (29 GA); and Mary BEDELL (15 GA).
This grave is evidently not identifiably marked. Based on the date of burial, it should be in the Old Cemetery section, Section 1, or Section 2, unless it was subsequently reinterred elsewhere.
