This grave marker is made of polished gray granite and was clearly placed in the 20th century. The death date is evidently in error (should be 17 SEP 1864, not 17 JUL 1864).
Mary Jane Galer's "COLUMBUS, GA: Lists of People, 1828-1852, and Sexton's Reports to 1866" (2000), p. 247, shows: Col. ROOD's child died aged 15 months (cause of death not reported) and was buried 18 SEP 1864, as a non-resident of Columbus, Georgia (from "July to October, 1864, report of Sexton for 3d qtr.," dated 10 OCT 1864). [The sexton at that time was Robert Thomas SIMONS.] John H. Martin's "The Making of a Modern City: Columbus, Georgia, 1827-65," Volume II (1875), p. 173 (from the version of the sexton's quarterly report that was published in the local newspaper,) shows: a child of Col. ROODE.
A transcription of this grave in Autry's "Historic Linwood Cemetery," Volume 1, p. 161, errantly shows her as Mary Evans [sic], daughter of A. P. & B. E. ROOD.
