Original Sacred Heart Parish records show John Mrozik died of old age in Flensburg at 86 years on Nov. 24, 1912. He was buried on Nov. 26, 1912.
His age is listed as 63 in the June 1895 census and 68 in the June 1900 census, living with his son Jacob and family in both instances. These suggest his birth year was about 1832 rather than 1825 as inscribed on the gravestone shared with his wife Magdalena.
Further research by Arlin Super found his 1836 baptismal record at Sierakowice Parish, Kartuzy County, Pomorskie, Poland. His parents were Joseph Mrozewski and Eva Went. He was married during 1860 at the same parish, with the couple listed as Johann Mrozewski and Magdalena Kuchta.
