Burial record from the sexton's ledger book shows: a child of Nellie SHARP was stillborn and was buried 20 DEC 1877 in Section 1, Lot 307 as a resident pauper of Columbus, Georgia (so probably born/diedthere). Sexton Abraham ODOM.
This grave is evidently not identifiably marked. Others reported to be in City 1-307 include: Jacob W. SHOUP, buried 07 OCT 1871 (age nor reported); a child of Mrs. SHOUP, buried 22 MAY 1872 (aged 6 years); Mrs. E. V. SHARP, buried 25 MAY 1886 (aged 55 years); Ellen "Nellie" SHARP, buried 06 NOV 1891 (aged 35 years); and Leila SHARP, buried 20 NOV 1901 (aged 41 years) -- Leila's surname is plainly SHARP in the sexton's record, but someone in a later hand wrote "Short," and the corresponding card in the sexton's card file (an index) is under the incorrect surname "Short."
No owner is recorded for City 1-307 on the lists of lot owners. This lot corresponds to Lot 143 of Section A in Dolores Autry's "Historic Linwood Cemetery" book (edited by Lea Dowd et al.), Volume 1. Autry reports no evidence of graves in this lot, and the map of Linwood Cemetery compiled by John Kennedy shows here "lot appears to be empty."
