Adelia was the daughter of Isaac Louzada and Catherine (Lozier) Louzada. She married Henry Cornwell on 6 Apr 1836 in New York.
Henry and Adelia came to Hawaii and went into partnership with Adelia's brother, James Louzada, in the first sugar cane business on Maui. After James died, Henry and Adelia purchased his wife's half of the business. They eventually sold the business to Mr. Spreckles and became very wealthy as a result. Adelia lived for ten years after her husband passed away, and she was known to have been a generous, anonymous contributor to many worthy causes in Honolulu.
******************************************
Mrs. Adelia Louzada Cornwell, a native of New York, but for forty years past a
resident of the Hawaiian Islands, died in San Francisco, April 21st, and her
remains were brought here on the Australia yesterday for interment.
Mrs. Cornwell came here with her husband about forty years ago, her brother,
James Louzada, having come here some years before and started the Waikupu
plantation. Some years afterward, Mr. Cornwell bought out the plantation and
removed to Waikupu with his family. An elegant home was erected there and Mrs.
Cornwell divided her time during recent years between Waikupu and Honolulu.
She went to San Francisco one year ago, owing to ill health, intending to remain
away a year, and it was just twelve months and a day from the time she arrived
in San Francisco until she died.
About a week before her death, she was attacked with severe pains in her chest;
physicians were called and they pronounced it a case of final breaking up of all
the organs of the body. The immediate cause of her death was pneumonia.
Her family consists of Mrs. D. Vida, Mrs. M. Widdifield, W. H. Cornwell and Mrs.
Friel. Two children, Isaac and John, died some years ago.
Mrs. Cornwell was well known to all Honolulu and the people of Maui for her
kindly ways and generous spirit. Her liberality was well known to every public
charity and many private ones, but she disbursed her funds for the good the
money would do rather than for publicity; her good works were known to herself,
her agents and the recipients. She never spoke of them. Although she had
reached almost four score years, she was an active member of the Central Union
Church. She was a devout Christian, a loving mother and a sincere friend.
The funeral has been set for Sunday, owing to the absence of several members of
the family on Maui. W. Porter Boyd leaves by the Kinau today to bring down his
wife (a granddaughter of Mrs. Cornwell), Mrs. Friel and Miss Kittie Cornwell by
the Hall, arriving here on Friday.
