Mary Jane Galer's "COLUMBUS, GA: Lists of People, 1828-1852, and Sexton's Reports to 1866" (2000), p. 224, shows: Mrs. O'BANNON died aged 50 years [cause of death not reported for burials in this quarter] and was buried 24 MAY 1861 (from "April 1 to July 1, 1861 Sexton report on deaths," dated 01 JUL 1861). [Note that, despite the title, these are reports of interments in the city cemeteries, rather than accounts of the deaths within the city. The sexton at that time was Henry M. HARRIS.] John H. Martin's "The Making of a Modern City: Columbus, Georgia, 1827-65," Volume II (1875), p.147 (from reports of deaths published in the local newspaper), reports Mrs. O'BANNON died on 22 MAY 1861.
This grave is evidently 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.
