Child of A. LEWIS -- probably James Angevine LEWIS who married 1879 to Willie L. HOOD.

Original burial entry in sexton's ledger book shows: a child of A. LEWIS was born in Georgia, died aged 6 months of teething, and was buried 07 MAY 1883 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. City half lots 91 1/2 and 133 1/2 were owned by James A. LEWIS (date of sale and price of purchase not known). Others reported to be in these lots include: David D. GAWLEY, buried 27 DEC 1875 (aged 40 years); Terva (?) LEWIS, buried 03 SEP 1881 (aged 10 months); Johnnie LEWIS, buried 04 JUL 1882 (aged 7 months); and Maggie LEWIS, buried 03 AUG 1884 (aged 5 months). David GAWLEY was James A. LEWIS' uncle and business partner. These half lots evidently 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 no visible evidence of graves here.
