GEORGETOWN - Services are tentatively scheduled for 1:00 p.m. tomorrow for Dr. Glenwood Milford Van Valkenburgh, who died Sunday night at a party celebrating his 61st birthday.
Dr. Van Valkenburgh, a Georgetown physician for 32 years and a former president of the Medical Society of Delaware, collapsed while cooking a barbecue dinner at his cottage in Rehoboth Beach.
The family said services were set tentatively for tomorrow at St. Paul's Episcopal Church here, pending the arrival of Dr. Van Valkenburgh's son, Holland, who is with the U.S. Army in Germany.
Dr. Van Valkenburgh, born in the Oklahoma Territory, came to Georgetown in 1932 to take over the practice of Dr. C. L. Hudiberg. He had degrees from Oklahoma A. & M. College, the University, of Oklahoma Medical School and completed his internship and residency at the University of Pennsylvania Hospital, Philadelphia.
For 30 years he was on the board of the Georgetown branch of the Wilmington Trust Co. and at the time of his death was its chairman. He was a past president of the Georgetown Board of Education and was a vestryman and past senior warden of St. Paul's Church.
He was a past president of, the Sussex County Medical, Society, a fellow of the American Academy of General Practice, a consultant to the State Hospital for the Mentally Retarded at Stockley, on the board of the Delaware Anti-Tuberculosis Society and on the staffs of Beebe Hospital, Lewes, and Milford Memorial Hospital.
He belonged to Franklin Lodge No. 12, AF&AM, the American Legion post here and the Rehoboth Country Club. During World War II, he was a major in the Army Medical Corps.
Dr. Van Valkenburg's death was attributed to a heart attack by the attending physician. The family said he has had a history of heart trouble since 1949.
Suvivors in addition to his son include his widow, the former Margaret Hamilton; a daughter, Mrs. Grant B. Hering of New York City; eight brothers and sisters and five half-brothers and half-sisters.
The Rev. David D. Mulford, rector of St. Paul's, will officiate at the services with interment in the adjoining churchyard. In lieu of flowers, the family suggests contributions to the Dr. Glennwood M. Van Valkenburgh Memorial Fund of the Delaware Heart Association.
