Reported age at time of death was 20 years, so if accurate, evidently died about 1835.
Mary Jane Galer's "COLUMBUS, GA: Lists of People, 1828-1852, and Sexton's Reports to 1866" (2000), p. 205, shows: Miss BOWMAN died aged 20 years of the measles and was buried 21 MAY 1856 (from "1 April to 1 July 1856, Sexton's Report," dated 22 JUL 1856). John H. Martin's "The Making of a Modern City: Columbus, Georgia, 1827-65," Volume II (1875), p. 92 (from a version of the sexton's report published in the local newspaper), confirms the record.
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.
