Dolores Autry's "Historic Linwood Cemetery" (edited by Lea Dowd et al.), Volume 3, p. 211, includes: Columbus GA Daily Enquirer newspaper, 2/7/1879: Death of Mrs. J. H. BROOKS. THis lady, wife of Mr. J. H. BROOKS, of this county, died at the residence of her husband, near this city, on Wed. evening at 8:30 o'clock. She was 39 yrs. of age."

Dowd states here: "This lot (J-181) was accidentally omitted from the first printing. My sincerest appreciation to Ken Thomas for his information on this lot." Unlike a traditional publication, this work is available in a print-on-demand basis through an online press. There is no "first printing," "second printing," etc. As the text was altered from the original version, what Dowd should have said here is "second edition." Unlike the first and second volumes, Volume 3 includes no title page. None of the volumes includes information on what printing or edition the book is, only that Volume 1 was copyrighted in 2006 and Volume 2 in 2007; no copyright date included in Volume 3.
