Originally buried 24 MAY 1864 in Linwood Cemetery at Columbus, Muscogee County, Georgia. Remains were disinterred from Linwood on 17 MAR 1886 and shipped to Florda for re-interment, presumably in the family lot where his parents and other relations are buried in St. John's Cemetery. This is possibly the same burial as this Anderson, but with no more than a surname and burial in Section 11, I can't say for sure.

Reported age at time of death was 37 years, according to the original sexton record at Linwood, but that's clearly in error. His newspaper obituary from the local Columbus, Georgia, newspaper reports he was 27 years old; he was aged 15 years and born in North Carolina on the 1850 census; and aged 24 years, born in Florida (sic), on the 1860 census, so born about 1835. Son of Walker A. and Phebe Rice (HAWKS) ANDERSON. Married 21 APR 1863 in Wake County, North Carolina, to Kate CAMERON.

Mary Jane Galer's "COLUMBUS, GA: Lists of People, 1828-1852, and Sexton's Reports to 1866" (2000), p. 243, shows: Capt. Walker ANDERSON was born in North Carolina, died aged 37 years (sic; cause of death not reported) and was buried 24 MAY 1864 (from "April 1 to July 1, 1864, the Sexton presented the following report," dated 04 JUL 1864. The sexton then was Robert Thomas SIMONS). John H. Martin's "The Making of a Modern City: Columbus, Georgia, 1827-65," Volume II (1875), p. 172, reports Captain Walker ANDERSON. A subsequent record, in the Sexton's ledger, reports that on 17 MAR 1886, "Disentured (sic) the remanes of Capt. Walker Anderson an[d] Shipt to flarrady (sic - Florida)."

This man is memorialized on the headstone of his wife, here. However, that inscription is a cenotaph.
