John Glanville

Birth, Marriage and Death information

     John Glanville was born between 1847 and 1848 at Shoalhaven, NSW, AUS.
     He married Elizabeth Mary Corrie on 13 July 1870 at Shoalhaven, NSW, AUS, GLANVILLE-CORRIE-July 13, at the residence of the bride of John Glanville, Esq., J.P., Shoalhaven, to Elizabeth Mary, daughter of the late George Corrie, Esq., Victoria.
     He died on 3 May 1908 at NSW, AUS; Shoalhaven Telegraph 6 May 1908:
The Late Mr. John Glanville.
The death occurred, on Sunday morning, in Nowra, of Mr. John Glanville, of Wogamia, after a brief illness from heart ailment. The deceased gentleman had just reached 60 years, but coming from a long-lived race, his demise is regarded as having taken place at a comparatively early age. The late Mr. Glanville was a native of the district, being the second son of the late Mr. John Glanville, J.P., one of the most worthy pioneers, who played a prominent part in the early history of Shoalhaven, and left a name for high-mindedness and sterling character second to none of the grand men who blazed the track of civilisation in this communitv. His partner in life was a woman or noble character and fine attributes. The exemplary lives of such worthy parents naturally had a good influence upon their children, all of whom have proved a credit to their upbringing. The gentleman now deceased was a worthy scion of his honored parents — a man of the strictest integrity, high minded, with a healthy outlook on life and his fellow-men, a devoted husband, an affectionate father, and a devout member of his church. In his younger days he was a man of great vigor and robustness, and it was not till quite recently that he developed heart weakness. About six weeks ago he came into Nowra for medical treatment, putting up with Mrs. Hampson in Berry-street, in the house erected and occupied by his parents, and where they both died. He gradually sank, despite the best attention, and peacefully passed away early on Sunday morning, retaining consciousness practically to the last. The funeral took place on Monday afternoon, and was largely attended, testifying to the general esteem in which the deceased was held. A short service was held at All Saints' Church, the Rev. R. J. Cameron taking the opportunity to make feeling reference to the Christian faith, piety, and goodness of the departed, and to sympathise with the bereaved family. The coffin was carried to the grave by the deceased's six sons, and the last sad rites wore performed by the Revs. Cameron and Venn. Deceased leaves a widow, six sons (Rev. Corrie Glanville, Messrs Percy, Charles, Eric, Richard, and Douglas Glanville), and three daughters (Mrs Mottram and Misses Emily and Stephanie Glanville), also a large circle of relatives to mourn their irreparable loss. With the rest of the community we extend our deepest sympathy to the bereaved family.
     He was buried in May 1908 at Nowra General Cemetery, Nowra, NSW, AUS, with Monumental Inscription "In Loving Memory of John second son of the late John Glanville who fell asleep 3rd May 1908 aged 60 years."
