For this census Mary E. was reported not having children living or dead. Perhaps this was a census error or Mary E. was a second wife.

Colonel Zinn had a distinguished career; for example he was Commander of the Philadelphia District, 1913-1916; Commander of the Second Portland District (Maine), 1916-1917; and had numerous other high echelon positions in the Corps. An online search for "Colonel George A. Zinn" will results in several hits.
