MRS. LELIA D. LAYCOCK
The funeral of Mrs. Lelia D. Laycock, widow of the late Judge Samuel G. Laycock, was held this morning at 10 o'clock at the family home at Fifth & Laurel Streets where Mrs. Laycock has lived for more than 50 years. The Rev. Philip P. Werlein, rector of St. James Episcopal Church, said the service and interment was made in the family cemetery beside her husband, who died in 1927.
Mrs. Laycock was well known although she confined her activities to her home. Quiet, with an unassuming manner, she had a wide circle of friends and was an interesting woman, being particularly well read. Although she did her charitable works without ostentation, there were many who had felt the influence of her kindness.
Six friends of long standing, several of whom she had known since their boyhood, will serve as pall-bearers. These are: Cecil C. Bird, Paul Perkins, Robert G. Beale, J.A.Clements, W. B. Seymour and Percy Doherty.
Mrs. Laycock was the daughter of Major John McCartney Taylor, soldier of the Confederacy, who served with valor in Scott's Cavalry. Her mother was Mrs. Eliza Ann Montan Taylor. Major Taylor was of distinguished Revolutionary ancestry and came to Louisiana from Alabama as a youth in 1848. He settled in Baton Rouge where he was married. With the father of Mayor Wade H. Bynum, Major Taylor became owner of the old Advocate, a forerunner of the present dailies, prior to the war. He died in 1867 at the age of 36 as a result of wounds received in the last days of the war.
Mrs. Laycock's maternal grandfather came to Baton Rouge shortly after participating in the Battle of New Orleans where he fought under Jackson.
Five children survive Mrs. Laycock:
Adelia Laycock - former president of the Henry Watkins Allen chapter, United Daughters of the Confederacy and a state officer in the U. D. C.

Five grandchildren:
James A. Denny, Jr. of Shreveport, son of a predeceased daughter
