Obituary
Mrs. Mary C. Kinney
Mrs. Mary Cogswell Kinney died at her residence in Washington, D.C. on the 7th of April in the sixty-second year of her age. She was a well known and highly esteemed lady. She was the eldest daughter of the late Rev. Dr. Cogswell of New Jersey and his first wife, Elizabeth Abbot. On both sides she was descended from two of the oldest families in New England, her father's ancestors having settled at Ipswich, Massachusetts in 1635 and her mother's the Abbots in 1643 in Andover, in which town the seminary was richly endowed by her great-grandfather. Mrs. Kinney was educated in New York, where she has ever since chiefly lived, but passed the last sixteen winters in Washington, occupying a prominent position in the best society of both cities. She was a Christian lady, alike beautiful in mind and person and was characterized by great benevolence. Her funeral was attended by a large assemblage of the most distinguished people of Washington and a long line of private carriages accompanied her to her last resting place in Oak Hill Cemetery, Georgetown. The Rev. Dr. Paret of the Protestant Episcopal Church officiated. Mrs. Kinney who survived her husband, Franklin S. Kinney and who was the owner of the Albemarle Hotel leaves five sons and one daughter. This lady lives in Europe, having married Count Gianotti, aide-de-camp to Prince Humbert, heir to the throne of Italy.
