> At the side of the comned remains of her mother, and to
> comply as far as possible with her unfulfilled wishes,
> Miss Matilda Van Ness LONEY was Sunday married to Lieut.
> George Arthur ZINN, of the corps of engineers of the
> United States army, in Baltimore. Miss LONEY is one of
> the best known young ladies in society, her father being
> Colonel Henry D. LONEY, of the veteran corps of the Fifth
> Maryland regiment. She is well-known here, having spent
> some time with her mother on Prospect street. Her
> engagement to Lieutenant ZINN was very gratifying to her
> family. The wedding was to take place on April 10 and
> the invitations had been engraved when Mrs. LONEY became
> ill about two weeks ago. Her condition rapidly became
> serious and her chief desire now was to see her only
> daughter happily married before she died. To this the
> doctor objected, deeming it inadvisable to allow his
> patient to be excited by the performance of the ceremony.
> Miss LONEY sank rapidly and on Friday died. Being unable
> to fulfill her wishes as she had expressed them Colonel
> LONEY concluded to do the next best thing, and, the
> bride and groom concurring, the wedding was performed
> Saturday in the presence of the dead.

> parents. The ceremony was performed by Rev. W. S. REICHARD
> in the presence of a large number of friends and relatives
> of the contracting parties. The bride was attired in a
> handsome tan colored silk trimmed with cream silk lace,
> and carried a bunch of Marechal Neil roses. The groom
> wore a black cutaway. An elegant and complete supper of
> turkey, chicken, salads, cake, coffee, tea, ices, etc.,
> was served after the performance of the ceremony. The
> presents were numerous and very serviceable and valuable.
> The bride is a popular and widely-known young lady in the
> community in which she lived, and while her friends heartily
> congratulate the fortunate groom, they plead sympathy for
> themselves in their loss. The groom is a young business man
