Researching Chauncey and Elizabeth, all I can find is that they were pretty poor by family standards, they had no children when the rest of the family had several, and he died young leaving Elizabeth a widow for 38 years. She came from a family of at least ten Mroczkowski children - she quite possibly was the oldest - and by her obituary, her father died young, and her mother remarried and had at least two more, Moore children. The Mroczkowskis spoke Polish in the home and Latin in the church (St. Anthony's) Elizabeth never traveled to Oceanside to visit her husband's family after his death. Was she happy? It's so hard to say, but one thing telling about her obituary: with at least eleven brothers and sisters all younger than she was, only four were mentioned, and all four were unmarried and most likely childless. That does seem to be the recipe for a long life.
