Linwood Cemetery in Columbus, Muscogee Co., GA is a place where the past jumps to life among the many unique marble and granite markers that yield the names of those from various cultures who came to this frontier town to stay or intended to pass through to new vistas, only to remain at rest permanently in the cemetery.
Dolores Autry's original Linwood Cemetery book was a great example of her attention to detail, patience and tenacity. Over a period of approximately five years, she mapped the entire cemetery and subdivided it into sections. She walked each section writing down each grave location and all headstone inscriptions. She took that large list of names and researched through microfilmed newspapers, microfiche copies of historical documents, old family bibles when available and any other possible sources of information. Additionally, she purposefully included the names of family members listed in obituaries of those interred as an additional resource for those that would be using her index in the future. After publication, her book quickly became the definitive source for researching Linwood Cemetery. Sadly, very few copies and no original were left of this work.
Lea L. Dowd and before her death, Carol Johnson, knew the value of what her friend, Mrs. Autry had produced and with permission from her family began to republish and make additions to her original work.
