Vol. XXI.� No. 10, Lancaster, PA., 1917; Pages 155-161 ����������������� �� Adelaide �� Born Jan. 31, 1835�� Died May 31, 1856 �� The following is a brief version of her unhappy romance: �� The Reverend Edward Purdon Wright was rector of St. John's from 1854-1856.� Just before coming to the parish he married a widow by the name of Corryell, who had two children Adelaide and Thomas.� In the summer of 1855, a young foreigner, presumably a Spaniard, by the name of Joseph Hazazer was employed to paint the church.� He and Adelaide fell in love with each other, and the mother looked with much disfavor upon the attachment.� The young people taking advantage of the absence of the parent, walked to the parsonage of the Pequea Presbyterian church and were married by the Reverend John Wallace.� In his diary he records it as follows:� "Tuesday, June 26, 1855, 4 p.m. by the Rev. John Wallace Joseph Hazazer to Adelaide Corryell, Philadelphia and Salisbury, Lancaster county."� The mother would not allow the man to claim his bride.� Adelaide died at the age of twenty-one.� Her child was taken away by the mother and neither of the parents ever knew what became of it. �� Mrs. Wright had the monument erected with the name Adelaide Corryell inscribed upon it.� Sometime afterwards Mr. Hazazer visited the grave and had his name carved on it.� This the Wrights' had taken off and left the name "Adelaide" there, and thus it remains to this day. �� Joseph Hazazer married again and had children.� He was a member of the firm of Haldy and Hazazer, painters and artists, of Philadelphia.
