Reported age at time of death was 40 years, so evidently born about 1815.
John H. Martin’s “The Making of a Modern City: Columbus, Georgia, 1827-65,” Volume II (1875), p. 86, shows on a list of deaths for 1855: David J. BARBER, 23 SEP 1855 (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. 203, shows: David J. BARBER died aged 40 years of "congestive fever"; buried 23 SEP 1855 (from "July, August, September 1855, Sexton's Report of deaths in the City," dated 08 OCT 1855). [Note that, despite the title, these are generally understood to be reports of interments in the city cemeteries, rather than accounts of the deaths within the city.]
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.
