Birth, Marriage and Death information

     She married Henry Glanville, son of John Glanville J.P. and Mary Stevens, in 1897 at Windsor, NSW, AUS.
     She died on 18 November 1912; Shoalhaven Telegraph 20 November 1912:
Death of Mrs. H. Glanville.
The death occurred in Sydney (whither she had gone for medical treatment), on Monday afternoon, of Mrs Glanville, wife of Mr Harry Glanville, of Wogamia. The deceased lady had been in a precarious state of health for about six months, and her death was expected at any time during that period. Her illness in the first instance was due to septicaemia, but complications ensued, and, though everything that medical skill and devoted nursing could do was done, she succumbed as stated. In the early stages of her illness she was attended unremittingly by Dr. Ewing at her home at Wogamia; later she was removed to Berry Hospital to undergo a critical operation, which was success fully performed by Drs. Ewing and Goergs, and for some time great hopes were entertained of her recovery. But the blood poisoning had got such a hold of her system that it affected heart and head, and the patient was then removed to Sydney, where five doctors attended her, but the case was beyond human help, and she gradually sank, and expired on Monday afternoon.
The late Mrs Harry Glanville was born in England, coming to New South Wales when very young with her parents, the Rev. W.S. Newton. M.A., and Mrs Newton. Her father, who is still living, is a scholar and a great reader. His daughter had all his love of study. For some time the Rev. W.S. Newton conducted a Grammar School, where many men in church life and in the commercial world obtained their education. Mrs Glanville studied under her father, and was so persistent and painstaking that she held her own with the other students. For a woman she was highly gifted, but though of considerable erudition and brain power she was most retiring. In the domestic sphere she was all that a woman should be— an exceptionally devoted wife and mother. She was a good worker for the church, and by her amiable disposition endeared herself to all who had the privilege and pleasure of her acquaintance. She leaves to mourn her loss a husband, one son, her aged parents, two brothers (one a doctor in London, the other a solicitor in Sydney), a sister, and a large circle of friends.
The mortal remains were brought to Nowra last night per train for interment, and the funeral will move from All Saints' Church this afternoon at 2 o'clock sharp for the C.E. portion of the general cemetery.
