Mary Jane Galer's "Columbus, Georgia: Lists of People in the Town, 1828-1852, and Sexton's Reports to 1866" (2000), p. 252, shows: A. C. WINGFIELD died aged 39 years, having been killed; buried 03 APR 1865 (from "January, February, March, April May, June 1865, report of the Sexton," dated 03 JUL 1865).
This grave is probably not identifiably marked. The cause of death suggests this may be a Confederate soldier, although the entry does not indicate such.
