Child of Meredith CURLEE -- evidently the Meredith CURLEE who married 18 JUL 1870 in Russell County, Alabama, to Arrie MOTE. Reported age at time of death was 11 months, so evidently born about AUG? 1873.

Mary Jane Galer's list of persons interred in the New Cemetery area of Linwood shows: child of Meredith COLLIER [sic - CURLEE] died aged 11 months; buried 20 AUG 1878 in Section 2, Lot 963 1/2 - Sexton James LYNAH. However, James LYNAH was not sexton in 1878; the original entry in the Sexton's ledger book shows this child was buried on 20 AUG 1874, and the card file entry is in error. Original entry also reports the child was born in Alabama; cause of death not reported; buried as a non-resident of Columbus, GA.

This grave is evidently not identifiably marked. A master list of lot owners for Linwood Cemetery shows Lots 993, 993 1/2 and 963 1/2 in Section 2 were owned by Meredith COLLEE [= CURLEE]; list doesn't report date of sale or price of purchase for lots. Others reported to be here include: Mrs. Arrie (MOTE) CURLEE, wife of Meredith (APR 1850--15 MAR 1919). Persons reported to be in city 2-993 1/2 include: a child of Meredith CURLEE, buried 26 SEP 1874 (age not reported); and Nannie CURLEE, buried 20 OCT 1876 (aged 18 years). Persons reported to be in city 2-993 include: Mollie CURLEE, buried 11 SEP 1875 (age not reported); Elizabeth "Bettie" (HATLEY) CURLEE, buried 02 OCT 1884 (aged 82 years); a child of Meredith CURLEE, buried 05 JAN 1885 (aged 7 days); Lorena CURLEE, buried 10 NOV 1891 (aged 46 years); Nancy STOCKDALE (born 1877, buried 20 DEC 1911; Meredith C. [or J.?] CURLEE (born 22 AUG 1885, buried 18 MAY 1913); Alice (CURLEE) WATTS, buried 28 DEC 1938 (aged 57 years).

City 2-993, 993 1/2 and 963 1/2 correspond to Lot 137 in Section A of Dolores Autry's "Historic Linwood Cemetery" book (edited by Lea Dowd et al.), Volume 1. Autry reports here: "No evidence of graves." This lot is counter-corner to the fenced DAVIDSON lot (city 2-1017 / Autry A-135), where Leah (CURLEE) DAVIDSON and Mary (CURLEE) HEARN have graves that are not identifiably marked.
