Reported age at time of death was 41 years, so evidently born about 1821. This presumed to be Joseph BULLOCK, the husband of Mrs. BULLOCK, and so is supposed to have been sick in Knoxville when she was attempting to go visit him, but his identity has not been confirmed.
Mary Jane Galer's "COLUMBUS, GA: Lists of People, 1828-1852, and Sexton's Reports to 1866" (2000), p. 231, shows: Mr. BULLOCK died aged 41 years of "camp fever: and was buried 22 NOV 1862, as a resident of Columbus, Georgia (from "October 1 to December 11, 1862, Sexton's Report," dated 18 DEC 1862. The sexton was Henry M. HARRIS). The history of Columbus by John H. Martin, Part 2 (published 1875), page 157, confirms the record.
"RAILROAD ACCIDENT.---An unfortunate accident occurred at the West Point Railroad depot night before last, by which a lady will probably lose her life. Mrs. Jos. BULLOCK, of Columbus, Ga., had arrived at West Point on the night train en route for Knoxville, to see her husband who is sick there. Whilst standing on the track awaiting the departure of the train for Atlanta, the cars from Montgomery were put in motion. She was thrown down and two wheels passed over her, crushing one leg and arm in a shocking manner. Her injuries were so bad that even amputation was deemed insufficient to save her life.-- [reprinted from the] Montg[omery] Adv[ertiser newspaper dated November] 13th." [Columbus (GA) Sun weekly newspaper for Tuesday, 18 NOV 1862 p. 3 column 1.]
This grave is evidently not identifiably marked. Based on the burial date, this grave would be in the Old Cemetery section, Section 1, Section 2, or the Letter A addition (unless it was subsequently reinterred to another part of the cemetery).
