His wife Esther died on 10 March 1892 in Grahamstown, Cape Town, South Africa, aged 34.^1,2,4 He married Ellen Annie Bubb, daughter of William Henry Bubb and Annie Sarah Rivers, on 4 October 1894 in Grahamstown, Cape Town, South Africa.^1,2 He died on 26 October 1910 in Serenje, Northern Rhodesia, South Africa, aged 56 from Sleeping sickness.^1,2,4 Dr Greathead accompanied Harry Barber on a hunting trip on the Sabi River, N.E. Transvaal in 1893, Harry Barber was badly mauled by a leopard and Dr Greathead with his unfailing skill and attention undoubtably saved his life. Dr Greathead met his death while on an expodition to Central Africa and Northern Rhodesia where he contracted sleeping sickness.

A history of medicine in South Africa sums up his medical career as follows: 'He achieved the greatest renown, particularly as an opthalmologist, his work as a consultant in this field took him all over the country and notes that he regularly performed laparotomies,enucleations and other formidable procedures. Previously, only amputations and the settings of fractures had been attempted at the hospital in Grahamstown. He kept a case book in which he recorded details of some of the more interesting cases. He kept notes in the form of a diary, when he felt that his experiences were likely to be of more than passing interest. Volumes covering 1884 - 1910 survived, were transcribed by J M Greathead distributed amongst family members and then deposited in Archives in Pretoria along with five volumes of photographs illustrating his travels for safe keeping.

He was a keen photographer. The diaries and photographs are now being prepared for publication by D W Gess in Cape Town.(son of Sarah Kathleen, and nephew of Dr D.J Greathead - book a passage to Cape of Good Hope)
The diaries are mostly concerning his recreational activities one of which was shooting. He was a natural historian and the pages of his diaries are full of notes on animals and people he encountered.he collected Game trophies which he prepared himself. some of which he collected for overseas museums, including the United states National Museum in Washington, USA.^3,4
