and why Adelaide?

Adelaide was born in 9 August 1848 in Worcestershire, England. When she was 7 she moved in New Zealand with her family. In 1863 Adelaide married John Burroughs 13 years her senior. The date was 15 October just 2 months after her 15th birthday.

John Burroughs purchased a 100 acre block here on 16th December 1863 and the first house was built where our walnut orchard now stands. We know little about this house except that it was built of white pine and was soon attacked by borer. It was also badly affected by floods.

This, their second house, Woodside, was built in 1877 and survives as one of the oldest homes in the area.
