Mrs. Mroczkowski Dies Suddenly at Home Last Night

Mrs. Ruby Layfield Mroczkowski, 68, resident of Brunswick since 1906, died 
at the family residence, 1507 Gloucester Street, last night unexpectedly.

Mrs. Mroczkowski, apparently in good health, suffered an attack about 8 
o’clock last night and died a few minutes later. Attending physicians said 
death was attributed to a heart attack.

Funeral services will be held Friday afternoon at 4 o’clock at the chapel of 
the Edo Miller & Sons Funeral Home with the Rev. Harry Chafin, assistant 
pastor of the First Baptist Church officiating. Burial will be in Palmetto 
Cemetery. Pallbearers will be: active, C. F. Starke, J. F. Dye, Ellis 
Midgett, J. K. Harrison, R. A. Lindsay and George Deen; honorary, P. H. 
Latimer, Sam E. Davis, C. P. Dusenbury, T. E Eberhart, Raymond Churchill, 
Albert Kammerer, John Gilbert, Otis Hendrix, Pierce Thiot, Raymond Symons, 
Clarence Dubs, and Edward Abel.

Mrs. Mroczkowski, a native of Taylor County, was well known in the city. She 
was a member of the First Baptist Church.

Survivors are her husband, T. M. Mroczkowski, two sons, Capt. Rufus 
Mroczkowski, U. S. Coast Guard, San Francisco, and James Mroczkowski, 
Brunswick, two brothers, Rufus Layfield, Brunswick; Ed Layfield, Phenix 
City, Ala.; two sisters, Miss Maude Layfield, Macon, Ga.; Mrs. Berta Jinks, 
Butler, Ga., and four grandchildren.



Additional Comments:
Ruby was the youngest daughter of James (Jim) Monroe Layfield and Mary 
Elizabeth Watson. She was born on 9 Jun 1886 in Taylor County, Ga. On 
November 11, 1906, she married Thaddeus McAllister (Mac) Mroczkowski in 
Taylor County. Their first child, Rufus Edward, was born in Junction City, 
Ga. on 7 Sep 1907. Shortly after his birth, the family moved to Brunswick, 
Georgia where Mac and Ruby would live the rest of their lives. The couple 
had two more children, James (Jim) and Dorothy. Sadly, they lost their one 
and only daughter at the age of six. Ruby, her husband Mac and their 
children Dorothy and Jim, are buried at Palmetto Cemetery in Brunswick, Ga. 
Their oldest child Rufus, is buried at Arlington National Cemetery.

Ruby is the sister of my great-grandfather Ed Layfield. I would like to 
correspond with anyone researching the Layfield family.
