Centenarian craftsman marks 100th birthday with praise
Thaddeus K. Mroczkowski, a cabinet maker born in Morris New Jersey in 1854, celebrated turning 100 with congratulations from President Eisenhower and Gov. Herman Talmadge. He speaks of longevity as peace of mind, reading daily without glasses, and walking blocks for his paper. He recalls the Civil War era and Sherman’s raid, and followed cabinet making across Georgia before retiring to Morristown and later living with his daughter. He emphasizes faith and a calm life as the secret to long life.
