Shoalhaven Telegraph 24 Jun 1925:
DEATH OF MR. SAM GLANVILLE.
The death of Mr. S. J. Glanville, which sad event occurred on Sunday afternoon, came as a shock to the community. He had been confined to his home for the past couple of weeks, but very few persons realised that he was in a critical state of health. As a matter of fact, his health -had been anything but satisfactory for about twelve months. He had been uinder treatment for diabetes for some time, and had been undergoing a course of dieting. Later he suffered from heart trouble, and for several weeks had been under the daily supervision of Drs.Rodway and Whitfeld, and last week Dr. Stafford, of Berry, was called in. He held out very little hope, confirming the opinion of the local doctors that the patient was in a very serious condition. All the members of his family were advised, and his sisters and (brother-in-law (Mr. Drummond) came down at the week-end. On Sunday morning Mr. Glanville was reported to be somewhat improved, having passed a good night. But in the afternoon, while conversing with his brother Harry, he collapsed, and shortly afterwards died. So sudden had the end come that Mr. Drummond, who had just previously left to catch the afternoon train on his return to Sydney, was shocked to hear the news of his brother-in-law's death when he had taken his seat in one of the carriages, and he thereupon returned to the house of mourning. The late Mr. Glanville was the youngest son of Mr. John Glanville, J.P., one of the earliest and (best known of the district settlers, and was born 'at Wogamia, in the old family homestead, 63 years ago. He engaged in farming pursuits, first at Wogamia, afterwards in the Berry end of the district, and later returned to the rich up-the-river farm, and about ten or twelve years ago purchased from Mr. C.R. Woodhill his fine town property on the heights of Worrigee-street, where he made his home with his wife and family of three daughters. While residing there he actively identified himself with church matters, being for quite a number of years the clergyman's warden of the iShoalhaven parish of St. John's. He was an earnest worker for his church, giving much time to the advancement of its interests and parish affairs generally. He was also actively associated with the Agricultural Society, being for years a member of the committee, and though not a talker he could always be relied on when work was to be done. Last year he occupied the position of vice-president. He was one of the trustees and guarantors for the Shoalhaven Tennis Club, and was ever ready to help, financially and otherwise, in any worthy public cause. Bluff and breezy in disposition, he was popular with all; he was everybody's friend and no one's enemy; a man of fine character and sterling worth; a model husband and exemplary father, and the community is the poorer for his demise. General sympathy is felt for the bereaved widow, children, and family in their bereavement.
The funeral took place yesterday afternoon, the mortal remains being conveyed first to All Saints' Church, where a , short service was held, and afterwards to the C.E. portion of the Nowra cemetery, where the interment took place. Rev. T. Terry conducted the last sad rites.
     He was buried in June 1925 at Nowra General Cemetery, Nowra, NSW, AUS, with Monumental Inscription "Sacred to the Memory of Samuel Joseph Glanville. Youngest son of the late John Glanville Wocamia, Shoalhaven and St Column Cornwall England. Who died 21st June 1925. Aged 62 years."
