Although the burial record doesn't say so, this could possibly be a child of Terva (?) LEWIS, rather than a child named Terva (?) LEWIS. However, as the owner of this lot was James A. LEWIS and his uncle / businesspartner David D. GAWLEY is also buried in the lot, this is presumed to be a child of James Angevine & Willie L. (HOOD) LEWIS (Sr.), who married in 1879. James (39 GA), a dry goods merchant, and Willie (24 GA) are together on the 1880 census of Columbus, Georgia, boarding with Sallie ALLEN (20) and James ALLEN (27), who is also a dry goods merchant. Following Willie's death in 1888, James married that year to Robena Hicks BASS.
Original burial entry in sexton's ledger book shows: Terva [?] LEWIS was born in Georgia, died aged 10 months of typhoid fever, and was buried 03 SEP 1881 in Section 1, Lots 91 1/2 and 133 1/2, as a resident of Columbus, Georgia (so probably born and died there). The sexton was Abraham ODOM.
This grave is probably not identifiably marked. Lots 91 1/2 and 133 1/2 in Section 1 were owned by James A. LEWIS (date of sale and price of purchase not reported). Others reported to be in this lot include: D. D. GAWLEY, buried 27 DEC 1875 (aged 40 years); Johnnie LEWIS, buried 04 JUL 1882 (aged 7 months); a child of James A LEWIS, buried 07 MAY 1883 (aged 6 months); and Maggie LEWIS, buried 03 AUG 1884 (aged 5 months). These city lots appear to correspond with Lot 39 of Section B in Dolores Autry's "Historic Linwood Cemetery" book (edited by Lea Dowd et al.), Volume 1. Autry reports this is an "open" lot (not bounded by wall or curbing), with no perceptible evidence of graves. The Kennedy map of Linwood Cemetery shows a possibly sunken grave here, the dimensions of which suggest that it's adult-sized.
The 1884 city directory for Columbus, Georgia, p. 140, shows:
LEWIS, James A., of James A. Lewis & Company, wholesale dry goods, resides at the corner of Forsyth & St. Clair streets (now Fourth Avenue and Eleventh Street).
