From Ronny Bodine:
The Samuel Garwood family was living 1880 in Williamstown, Gloucester County, next door to Joanna's parents, where Samuel was involved in the glass manufacture business. In 1883, he was President of the J. V. Sharp Canning Company and was serving as Postmaster of Williamstown. In 1910, Samuel Garwood was President of a glass manufacturing business. Joanna reported she had borne 2 children, both then living. The death of Samuel Garwood was reported in the Boston "Daily Globe" of 4 April 1914 as "Samuel Garwood, president of the Williamstown Glass Company, which has an office in Boston at 265 Atlantic avenue, is dead at his home here, heart failure being the cause. He was a Director of the Atlantic City Railroad and the Port Reading Railroad, two of the reading systems lines in New Jersey. He was in his 69th year and is survived by a wife, a son and daughter." He was buried in the First United Methodist Church Cemetery in Williamstown, Gloucester County. In 1930, Joanna Garrwood, now widowed, was living in Williamstown with her daughter Helen Garwood.
The marriage of Samuel Garwood and Joanna B. Bodine, both of Williamstown, on 17 Oct 1872 in Thorofare, Gloucester Co., NJ was reported in the Woodbury "Constitution" of 23 Oct 1872.
