Father Abram J. Ryan also used the same pseudonym, unaware of Mrs. Dinnies' prior claim to it. "The Conquered Banner" was published under the signature, "Moina”. The correspondence that took place between Mrs. Dinnies and Father Ryan was as to the use of the name "Moina” — not as to the authorship of "The Conquered Banner". Mrs. Dinnies never claimed the poem and Father Ryan graciously apologized and never after used the signature, "Moina". Death Mr. Dinnies died in 1882. Mrs. Dinnies died in New Orleans, Louisiana, August 8, 1886. Selected works Books The Floral Year, Embellished with Bouquets of Flowers, Drawn and Colored from Nature.
