Reported age at time of death was 5 months, so evidently born DEC 1883.

Mary Jane Galer's list of persons buried in the Old Cemetery section of Linwood shows: child of W. G. FOSTER died aged 5 months of cholera infantum; interred 06 JUN 1884. Original burial entry from the sexton's ledger book shows this as a child named W. G. FOSTER (rather than as a child of W. G. FOSTER), born in Georgia, died as a non-resident of Columbus. The sexton was Abraham ODOM. Also, the age here would say "5 w" (for five weeks), rather than "5 m" (for five months).

This grave is probably not identifiably marked.
