No age reported, but name given as Mr. RUTHERFORD, so presumed to be an adult. Note, however, that some males as young as 10 or 12 years of age are recorded as "Mr." in some of the sexton's records.
Mary Jane Galer's "COLUMBUS, GA: Lists of People, 1828-1852, and Sexton's Reports to 1866" (2000), p. 224, shows: Mr. RUTHERFORD [age and cause of death not reported] was buried 26 APR 1861 (from "April 1 to Jul 1, 1861, Sexton' report on deaths [sic]," dated 01 JUL 1861). [It is understood that, rather than being accounts of death in Columbus, these periodic reports by the sexton recorded burials in the municipal cemeteries. They include persons who died outside of Columbus but were buried in the city, and they exclude persons who died in the city but were interred elsewhere. The sexton at that time was Henry M. HARRIS.]
This grave is probably not identifiably marked.
