Second Generation
2. Samuel Plant (Second) (Samuel) was born in 1800 in Cornaslieve, Parish of Lurgan, Cavan, Ireland. He died1 on 30 Jan 1881 in , Queensland, Australia and was buried2 on 31 Jan 1881 in Cabarlah, Toowoomba, Queensland, Australia.
Cornaslieve is a townland near the village of Virginia, County of Cavan, Ireland.
Information comes from 1821 census records of Cornaslieve, Lurgan, county of Cavan: - Samuel Plant 53 years, farmer; - Mary (wife) spinner, 45 years; - Martha, 18 years, spinner; - Jane 16 years, spinner; - William 14 years, labourer; and - Mary 12 years spinner, Susan 10 years spinner (information from Barry Deans.) Samuel migrated to Queensland aboard the ship "Norman Morrison" with his two daughters arriving on December 20th 1863.
Meryl 's notes have Samuel as the coachman for the Bell family. He and the daughter of the house (Jean Bell) contracted a run-away marriage (common in those days). They then settled on a small tenement farm as she was disowned by the family. (Not proven) The older sons went to England and hired themselves out as harvesters nearly every year. The two older boys came to Australia first in 1856. Brother Samuel followed in 1858. Together James and Samuel Jnr helped clear Ruthven Street, Toowoomba. A storm washed away some of the soil used to fill the holes left when stumps were removed and a bullocky lost his team down one a few days later. They saved up and sent for the rest of the family who arrived in 1863. Ellen and Frank Sheridan came out with the rest of the family in 1863, but have not found Frank's name on a shipping list. They all settled in the Geham district and most were buried in the Cabarlah Cemetery in an area commonly known as "Plants Little Acre". Some of the sons did very well for themselves. The rest of the family would not do business with some of the sons. In that generation there were 47 first cousins. Of his own sons, there were so many Sam Plants in succeeding generations that they were known by the nicknames such as "Fat Sam", "Black Sam", "Big Sam", "White Sam", and as many others as you could think of.

Samuel married Jane Bell, daughter of Margaret Irwin, about 1827 in , , , Ireland. Jane died before 1862 in , , , Ireland and was buried in , , , Ireland.
No date of death or place of death can be located for Jane Bell known in Australia as Jean. Information from passenger list of the "Phoebe Dunbar" has John and James entering Queensland in 1856. BIRTH: Several "Jane Bell"s exist. Copies of some birth or christening records are on file but I cannot match any up with any accuracy at this stage. Leonne obtained these when she was in Ireland.

William to Samuel except he appears on the 1821 census records as residing at the house in which Samuel's children lived on the night the census was taken. Samuel was absent that night. William appears to be the land-owner and possibly employed Samuel on the farm in the Townland. On the census William is listed as a 14 year old labourer. Barry has found a record of the transfer of land in 1832 which appears to confirm this.
In 1832, William took over lease of farm at Cornaslieve on 29 October 1832.

9. John Plant (Samuel, Samuel) was born on 10 Jan 1831 in Cornaslieve, Parish of Lurgan, Cavan, Ireland and was christened on 16 Jan 1831 in Cornaslieve, Parish of Lurgan, Cavan, Ireland. He died on 9 May 1883 in Geham, Toowoomba, Queensland, Australia and was buried on 11 May 1883 in Cabarlah, Toowoomba, Queensland, Australia.
Information from Lance Plant and Gilda Deans - John was from County Cavan and was an Orangeman (not confirmed by Gilda!). He and brother James, came as assisted passengers aboard the "Phoebe Dunbar" to Brisbane, Queensland on 5th May, 1856.
John was killed - thrown by a horse at Gowrie Mountain, via Toowoomba. Lenore Gordon informs me he died from complications afterwards as pneumonia set in.
Barry Deans says he has found that John and James, in 1857, paid four pounds towards the passage of brother Samuel to Australia in 1858.
CHRISTENING: information re birth and christening from Leonne Willis - original parish records sighted in Church of Ireland church, Virginia, County of Cavan, Ireland. Ceremony performed by Rev John Rowley. Father's occupation - farmer. John's brothers James and Samuel had being successful in contacting to clear a one mile straight stretch of road - later to be called Ruthven Street - in 1861. !On February 26, 1862, W.H.Groom as Honorary Secretary of the Racecourse Committee placed this advertisement in the "Darling Downs Gazette": "Tenders are called for clearing and stumping a mile circle on the new Race Course between Toowoomba and Drayton. The circle will be one chain wide except the portion opposite the Grandstand, which will be one chain and a half. The trees and stumps will have to be grubbed and roots cleared to a depth of two feet and the holes well filled and rammed. Tenders addressed to the Secretary will be received to the 4th March. By order of the Provisional Committee" W.H. Groom Hon. Sec. Feb. 26 1862. In April 1862, the Gazette reported the opening of the tenders and other preparations for the races. " A meeeting of the Darling Downs Race Committee was held at the Exchange Hotel on Saturday evening last. Tenders for clearing and stumping the ground were opened. The tender of John Plant doing the work at eight shillings a tree was accepted. The holes are to be well-rammed and the work performed in first class style. Mr Lloyd who from the first has taken an active and personal interest in the movement was out at the course on Tuesday and set the contractor to work". To visualise what the race course was like at this time, one should remember that the mile circle was a one chain wide circular track cleared in an otherwise quite heavily forested area. the inner circle remained quite thickly timbered except for the saddling enclosure. Eleven years later, in 1873, the Race Committee was arranging for the removal of about 200 trees from the centre of the track and for the piling and burning of timber lying on the ground.
John Plant was baptised on 10 January 1831 in Cornaslieve, Lurgan, County Cavan, IRELAND. He was the son of Samuel Plant and Jane Bell. John Plant immigrated in 1856 to Moreton Bay. He arrived on the Phoebe Dunbar with his younger brother James. In 1872 John Plant lived in Highfields, Toowoomba, Queensland, AUSTRALIA. In 1872 John Plant was Farmer. At the age of 41 years, 8 months and 2 days, John Plant married Alice Gillis, daughter of William Gillis and Jane Eyles, on 12 September 1872 in St Marks Church, Warwick, Queensland.The marriage certificate shows she was 21 not sixteen, and that he was 30, not 41 suggesting that she did not have parental permission to marry John. They had travelled over 100 miles to Warwick to be married. John's birthplace was given as Virgina, Co Cavan, Ireland and he was a farmer of Highfields at the time of his marriage.

Heather Panos, of 94 Lloyd Street Alderley, Brisbane advises she has obtained from the Queensland State Archives the following information from the shipping passenger lists - re Samuel: -
Samuel Plant, 22, labourer, from County Clare, Ireland. His father was Samuel Plant and mother Jean ??? - religion: Church of Ireland; can either read or write; has brothers in Ipswich, Queensland - arrived in Moreton Bay, September 1858 on the sailing ship "Alfred". There were 76 married couples, 126 single men and 60 females on board. His father Samuel and two sisters Catherine and Ellen came out later. (1995)
From State Archives - Samuel Plant aged 55, labourer - from Ireland, Catherine Plant aged 24, general servant - from Ireland, and Ellen Plant aged 22 - from Ireland arrived in Brisbane on 20 December 1863 in ship "Norman Morrison". Samuel Plant Senior's age on this shipping list is incorrect as he put his age back to qualify for admission to Queensland.
Ben Plant has found that Sam's father operated a carman (coach stopover station) in Cavan.
Cause of death: Angina Pectoris
Samuel is buried beside his wife, Laura Jane Plant (nee Hill) in the Church of England section (Section A, Row C, Grave No 406) in Cabarlah cemetery.

In the year 1871, Mr Sam Plant married Miss Laura J Hill who was the daughter of Mr and Mrs Alfred James Hill, the former being a head stockman of Gowrie Station and who in early days, undertook many long trips with cattle and sheep from New South Wales into Queensland. Mr Hill died as a result of a fall from a horse at Gowrie Station at the early age of 37 years in the year of 1861 and his headstone is still standing, well preserved, in the Drayton Cemetery. He was a native of Harley, Worcestershire, England. Their first child Cate Plant (the late Mrs Albert Smoothy of Pinelands) was born in 1872 and with his wife and one child, Sam Plant moved to
3 Jul 2021 Descendants of Samuel Plant (First) Page 9 Rockhampton to take over a carrying business which consisted of two bullock drays and most of the carrying constituted the taking of provisions from Rockhampton to the stations west. Mrs Plant and her child rode on the top of the load, one of the reasons being that they would be out of view of the semi-wild blacks which were encountered on these trips. On one occasion she was threatened with a tomahawk and was in imminent danger of losing her life. However they were able to calm the blacks by the presentation of coloured ribbons and parcels of toffee which were made by Mrs Plant for this purpose. A few years later Mr and Mrs Sam Plant and family moved to Geham on to a 50 acre block near where his two brothers, John and James Plant had selected. This particular land is known as portion 132 and was part of the property owned by Mr R. F. Cooling of Geham. Mr and Mrs Plant were involved in the local Church of England, the former being the Minister's warden for upwards of 28 years and his wife, the self imposed task of tending the Holy Trinity Church for half a century. Mrs Plant was born at Drayton in the year of 1851 and was sent to a private school conducted by Mrs Bullock and Mrs W. H. Groom. She was in her 80th year when she passed away in 1929. The Plant Brothers made many trips from Geham across country by bullock dray taking potatoes and other provisions to the gold diggers at the Fitzroy River field (Gympie).
Samuel Plant was born on 12 March 1836 in Cornaslieve Cavan, IRELAND. He was the son of Samuel Plant and Jane Bell. At the age of 34 years, 10 months and 27 days, Samuel Plant married Laura Jane Hill on 8

Cause of death: Carcinoma of stomach, anaemia, exhaustion.
From Meryl Wallis's notes: He was very handy with his fists and although a relatively small man not many other were game to take him on. The tale goes that one day a train pulled out of the yards and left a carriage behind. All the men were arguing about whose it was and Bill just walked up and hung his coat on the hook and said, " Anyone who wants to, can take it off!" Nobody did. He appreciated a good beer and was noted to call into the local hotel for a while on his droving trips. He died of bowel cancer, which in those days, was a very painful death as there were few good drugs available.

In a news item published in "The Chronicle" after Sarah's death: it reads - BELL - The death of Mrs Sarah Plant, aged 99 and a half years, on March 21 has broken a link with the early days of Queensland settlement. The late Mrs Plant was born at Helidon on September 8, 1871. She was the third daughter of John and Margaret Conley, who had arrived in Queensland from County Antrim, Ireland, in 1860. She married John Plant in December 1900 at Helidon and they had three children - John Conley (deceased), Margaret (Pearl) and Alice. Shortly after the birth of the third child they moved to Cooyar where John Plant helped pioneer the timber trade. The railway line to Cooyar had not been built so he hauled sawn timber to Jondaryan railway station on a bullock wagon, the trip taking a week when the weather was fine. On the return trip he carried groceries and various goods. Meantime his wife did her share of pioneering by making the best of life as it was lived in those times. About 1920 they moved to Yarraman where John Plant hauled hoop pine logs from the forestry to the sawmill at Yarraman, still using the bullock wagon. Motor trucks commenced hauling logs about 1925, so in 1928 the bullock team was sold and the family moved to Toowoomba. Here, a butchering business was bought opposite the Gowrie Hotel in Bridge Street. Later they moved to Acland where they engaged in the same type of business. When John Plant moved from Acland he realised a life-long ambition in buying a property "Braeside" on the Malakoff Road midway between Dalby and Bell. In 1935 Mr and Mrs Plant retired to Redcliffe but moved in 1944 to Bell where their daughter Mrs Henderson and her family resided. Mrs Plant lost her husband in July 1956 and her son, Jack (John Conley) was tragically killed at his work in November 1962. At the age of 90 Mrs Plant broke her hip but her courage and the excellent nursing and attention she received in both Toowoomba and Dalby hospitals enabled her to walk again. In later years Mrs Plant had lived with her son-in-law and daughter Mr and Mrs G Henderson in Bell. In late 1970 she became an inmate of Dalby Hospital where she remained until she passed away on Sunday March 21, 1971. She was laid to rest in the Bell cemetery on Tuesday March 23, with her husband and son. A large gathering of relatives and friends paid their last respects. The services at St Giles Presbyterian Church and at the graveside were conducted by Rev. E.F. Taylor, Bell. Mrs Plant is survived by her two daughters, three grandchildren and four great grandchildren.

They were married in St. Andrews Church, South Brisbane. His birthplace is listed as Coagh, Derry, Ireland. Aged 33 years (would be 1892 approx.) This info fills in a couple of holes in his details. Cheers Leonne

Joseph married25 Maud Crighton, daughter of George Henry Crighton and Mary Keno, on 18 Jun 1902 in , Queensland, Australia. Maud was born in 1882 in Stanthorpe, County Carnarvon, Queensland, Australia. She died on 27 May 1950 in , Queensland, Australia.
Her entry in the Births register is recorded by George Essex Evans, one of Toowoomba's and Australia's famous poets and observers of the day. <-Note included from Ron Plant back in 1980, but unfortunately, I cannot find her birth in the Queensland Birth Index and George Essex Evans did not become Registrar of Births in Toowoomba until 1896..no record of her birth in NSW records either
From Darren Bull: Very few details are available for Maud. Her birth records cannot be found on the register of Births, Deaths and Marriages in either Queensland or New South Wales. Horace's birth certificate confirms she was born in Stanthorpe and was aged 34 years in 1918.
Her and Richard's marriage certificate also confirms her birthplace as Stanthorpe and aged 21 in 1902. They were married on 18th June 1902.
On the birth certificate her parents are shown as George Crighton and Mary Keighs. One of the witnesses on the certificate is her sister Emily Mary Crighton, born 1880.
On the Register of Birth Deaths and Marriages Emily's parents are shown as George Crighton and Mary Keno. This is similar for a number of children born at a similar date. Perhaps Keighs was misspelt and should have been Keno.

Meryl's notes have that Cassandra was born in a slab hut without the aid of a doctor. A midwife, Mrs Kynock delivered her at Hebels View near Toowoomba. She cared for her father who died of cancer until his death. After a few years the family finances improved and the family were better housed and clothed. When they hand milked the cows, Jim and Cassie would light a bon fire in winter so the children could warm themselves. She was a very good manager of the family money and thanks to her efforts she bought a house in Toowoomba. For a while Jim did seasonal work. By the 1950's she owned four houses. One to live in and three to rent. She supported herself off these rents and other small investments like the Darling Downs Bacon Company. Meryl can remember when as a child and visiting her grandmother in Trevethan Street Toowoomba, they would race down the backyard and Cassie would always win. She had a good vegetable garden at this house and was self supporting in fruit, vegetables, and eggs. When she contracted arthritis she sold the house in Trevethan Street and moved to 5 Kennedy Street Toowoomba. She lived with her daughter Jean who had contracted polio as a child and was badly crippled. They took in Meryl and Heather May after their mother died. Meryl went to High School from the Kennedy Street house and lived there until her marriage. Cassie was very badly crippled by then but was very keen on reading and bought or borrowed from the Library all the best sellers. She also learnt to crochet at this age and made wool rugs and cushion covers.

Cassandra married (1) James May, son of James May and Mary Jane French, on 7 Mar 1906 in Toowoomba, , Queensland, Australia. James was born on 24 May 1874 in Dumbarton, , , Scotland. He died on 24 Jul 1934 in Toowoomba, Queensland, Australia and was buried in Cabarlah, Via Toowoomba, Queensland, Australia.
In all, on the microfiche of the Darling Downs Cemeteries, Volume Two, at Cabarlah, there are listed nine grave sites with the names of "MAY".
BIOGRAPHY: Meryl's notes have that James was her grandfather. He was born in Scotland and migrated to Australia when he was 11 (in 1885). The family bought a small farm at Merrits Creek, near Toowoomba after a while of living with cousins names Cossarts. He was friends with the Bradshaw boys. His father had helped him onto a small piece of land and with careful management of the money by Cassie they improved the family finances and extended their holdings. He was a very quick tempered man but wouldn't hold a grudge. One of Cassie's favourite tales was when he got upset with a young rooster crowing all the time, he threw a scrubbing brush at it and broke both its legs. He immediately picked it up and set the legs and then hand fed it until the legs healed. He died of heart trouble before John May was married.
Headstone reads 'In loving memory of our dear husband and our father James May. Died 24 July 1934. Aged 60 years. At Rest.' . He is buried beside his wife Cassandra (nee Bradshaw) in the Presbyterian section (Section C, Row C, Grave No 623) in Cabarlah cemetery.

BIOGRAPHY: from Meryl's notes: Jean was badly crippled by polio as a child. Because of this she had very little schooling but she was quite clever. She decided to learn the piano and became a piano teacher. She supported herself this way. During the Second World War there was a lack of dance bands and she started to play the piano for country dances with small bands. She travelled all over the Darling Downs to play for these dances through the 1940's and 1950's. She had her own bands in the end. The other members of the band would help her from the car to the hall and once seated at the piano people would forget how badly she was crippled. When Meryl's mother died, both Jean and Cassie took her in and she lived with then until her marriage. Jean was really her second mother. It is always with great regret that when Jean May died (from blood clot) that Meryl could not get to the funeral as she had just given birth to her daughter Kathryn and could not travel from Sydney. Jean died after having a minor operation to correct a muscle in her foot to make her walking more comfortable. Jean was going to visit Donald May first and then visit Meryl in Sydney after she had

TOOWOOMBA, July 17.
A magisterial inquiry into the circumstances surrounding the death of Samuel John Plant was held at Willowburn today, before Mr T. H. Boddington, P.M. The evidence showed that deceased was an inmate of that institution, having been admitted on July 13. On the following morning he was with the yard attendant, when two of the patients in the yard of a ward started to fight. The attendant went over to separate them, and on looking around found that Plant had disappeared. The only way he could get out of the yard was over the fence, which was 7ft. 6in high. The attendant reported the escape of Plant to the chief attendant. Subsequently a search was made outside, and the man was found hanging from a branch of a tree, life being extinct.

"Gala" attended Quilpie school from Grade 1 to Grade 6. He was 13 in his last year at school.
3 Jul 2021 Descendants of Samuel Plant (First) Page 119 Old Homes: Maclagan farm, Millmerran farm for a couple of years, Mt Lofty, Toowoomba while working in the Toowoomba Foundry.
"Gala" was christened a Catholic, but raised by his father as a Presbyterian or Methodist. He considered himself to be of no religion really but "Scotch".
In his younger days, "Gala" played the accordion, violin, and mouth organ. One of his favourite tunes that he played on the violin was "Road to Gundagai". "Gala" played his mouth organ up until his collapse, beginning of December 1985. "Gala" (Walter Littleton Plant) had ridden his pushbike to Pam's, a local shop in Deagon, Brisbane, where he collapsed. At the hospital it was found that a blood vessel had burst in his brain - aneurysm. The pressure on "Gala's" brain caused so much intense pain that he was kept sedated in intensive care for three weeks, until the delicate operation could be performed. After the operation, there was a period of concern when "Gala's" condition would improve only to deteriorate again. Eventually he passed through 3 or 4 hospitals for treatments on his road to recovery. In the early days, "Gala's" parents owned an orange Graham Paig - an American car like a Chevy, and "Gala" would drive it to the Condamine River on fishing trips. In those times, the sports he enjoyed playing were soccer, football, and tennis. Through the years he took up smoking cigarettes lightly. As far as life, he always took it as it came. "Gala" had a friendly temperament but wouldn't take any rot. He was the family story teller. His wide eyed grandkids would be rapt in his tall tales until they caught wind of his fib. One time he told us of a croc. that had bitten off his finger, when in fact it was an axe he was using to cut down a tree. In his youth, "Gala" had dark brown hair. !Information re birth comes from his birth certficate Number 3113/1910 Qld.

From Ron Pentecost: Arthur Donald Plant – Son of Alfred James Plant & Margaret Hope was born 25 February 1910 in Mrs. Fogarty's Nursing Home, Toowoomba, Queensland, and died 25 June 1994 in Highfields, Aubigny Shire, Queensland. He married Winsome Freda Seymour on 5 February 1941 in St. James' Church of England, Toowoomba, daughter of George Seymour and Lizzie Brabin. He was known as "Arthur" or "AD”. At his baptism, Arthur wore a handmade christening gown. The gown has been handed down through the family and used at the baptisms of various Plant grandchildren. This gown is now in possession of Arthur's niece, Margaret Evelyn MacKenzie.
Arthur was confirmed at the Holy Trinity Church of England, Geham on 1 November 1929 and educated at the Geham State School. He left school after reaching grade 6. His occupations varied. They included "Door to Door" salesman for Singer Sewing machines (joined January 1937), labourer for Queensland Government Railways, labourer at Darling Downs Bacon factory, and self employment as grazier/butcher - the latter being his major occupation. He first went butchering on his own at Drayton. He started with 100 pounds and borrowed 50 pounds against an insurance policy. He spent 50 pounds on a utility, 50 pounds on cattle and sheep and 50 pounds to move into a shop. He paid for the fittings when he had the money. He then purchased a butchery at 231 A Ruthven Street, Toowoomba, but moved to the Chinchilla district and bought land there. While he was in the Chinchilla district, he allowed his brother, David, to use his butchery at 231 A Ruthven Street, Toowoomba until his return. From there he moved to Gladstone and here he lost everything. He then moved to Cabarlah and commenced working on the Railway, doing butchering when he could afford it. He purchased Cabarlah property for 1200 pounds on 13 February 1946 and still retained the property at time of his death. This property (160 acres) adjoins the Geham (Cabarlah) cemetery. The property was later (2002) sold by beneficiaries of his estate. At time of his marriage, Arthur was a butcher and he resided in Dunn Street, Toowoomba. For many years, Arthur supplied bullocks to the Toowoomba Show for use in "Guess the weight of the bullock" competitions. He also provided cattle for the annual Cabarlah Camp Draft. Arthur died from a heart attack, suffered while driving his utility near Highfields. He was buried in the Geham (Cabarlah) cemetery on 29 June 1994 - aged 84 years. Marriage Notes: Witnesses to marriage were: David Samuel Plant (Groomsman) and Mary Seymour (Bridesmaid).

547 F i. Hazel Emerson was born in 1930. Hazel married George Stewart. George was born in 1929.
548 F ii. Daphne Emerson was born in 1934. Daphne married Malcolm Anderson. Malcolm was born in 1935.
Malcolm and Roy Emerson are world famous tennis champions representing Australia at Wimbledon at various times.
549 M iii. Roy Stanley Emerson was born on 3 Nov 1936 in Blackbutt, Queensland, Australia.
NOTE: Roy Emerson and companion Neil Fraser won the World doubles tennis championships at Wimbledon in England in 1959 and again in 1961. Roy then went on to win again with Rod Laver as his partner in 1971.
FromWikipedia: Emerson was born on a farm in Blackbutt, Queensland. His family later moved to Brisbane and was able to receive better tennis instruction after attending Brisbane Grammar School and Ipswich Grammar School.
Emerson won his first Grand Slam doubles title in 1959 at Wimbledon (partnering Neale Fraser). In 1961, he captured his first Grand Slam singles title at the Australian Championships, beating compatriot Rod Laver in four sets in the final. Later that year, Emerson claimed his second Grand Slam singles crown when he again beat Laver in the final of the U.S. Championships.
Affectionately known as "Emmo" on the tour, the six-foot right-hander was known for training hard and always being ready for strenuous matches because of his outstanding level of fitness. He was primarily a serve-and-volley style player, but was also able to adapt to the rigours of slow courts, allowing him to enjoy success on all surfaces.
From 1963 to 1967, Emerson won five consecutive men's singles titles at the Australian Championships. His six Australian singles crowns are a record for a male player.[citation needed]
1963 also saw Emerson capture his first French Championships singles title, beating Pierre Darmon in the final.
Emerson's first Wimbledon singles title came in 1964, with a final victory over Fred Stolle. Emerson won 55 consecutive matches during 1964 and finished the year with 109 victories out of 115 matches. He won three of the year's four Grand Slam events that year (failing to win only the French Open).
3 Jul 2021 Descendants of Samuel Plant (First) Page 220 Emerson was the world's No. 1 amateur player in 1964 and 1965 according to Lance Tingay of The Daily Telegraph and in 1967 according to Rex Bellamy. In 1965, he successfully defended his Australian and Wimbledon singles crowns. He was the heavy favourite to win Wimbledon again in 1966, but during his fourth round match he skidded while chasing the ball and crashed into the umpire's stand, injuring his shoulder. He still finished the match, but was unable to win.
Emerson's last Grand Slam singles title came at the French Championships in 1967 – the year before the open era began. His 12 Grand Slam singles titles stood as a men's record until 2000, when it was surpassed by Pete Sampras.
Emerson's final Grand Slam doubles title was won in 1971 at Wimbledon (partnering Laver). His 16 Grand Slam doubles crowns were won with five different partners. From 1960–1965, he won six consecutive French Open men's doubles titles. Jack Kramer, the long-time tennis promoter and tennis great, writes in his 1979 autobiography that "Emerson was the best doubles player of all the moderns, very possibly the best forehand court player of all time. He was so quick he could cover everything. He had the perfect doubles shot, a backhand that dipped over the net and came in at the server's feet as he moved to the net. Gene Mako and Johnny van Ryn could hit a shot like that sometimes, but never so often nor as proficiently as Emerson."
Emerson was also a member of a record eight Davis Cup winning teams between 1959 and 1967.
Emerson's 12 singles and 16 doubles titles make him one of the leading players in Grand Slam history. All his Grand Slam singles titles, however, were won against an amateur field at a time when many of the world's best players had turned professional and were unable to compete in the Grand Slam events. Kramer, himself a candidate for the title of greatest player of all time,[citation needed] did not consider Emerson worthy of inclusion in his 1979 list of the 21 best players to that date.[1] In 1968, moreover, Emerson came into the French Open as the defending champion and lost in the quarterfinals to Pancho Gonzales, who had been the most dominant player in the professional ranks for much of the 1950s but was almost 40 years old by the beginning of the open era. Eight years Gonzales's junior, Emerson seldom managed to beat him in a dozen matches as a professional. In the Champions Classic of 1970 in Miami, Florida, Emerson did beat Gonzales in straight sets, 6–2, 6–3, 6–2.[2]
Emerson's last top-20 ranking was in 1973, primarily owing to his winning his 105th and final career title at the Pacific Coast Championships in San Francisco. He defeated Roscoe Tanner, Arthur Ashe, and Björn Borg in the last three rounds of that tournament. Then
Emerson virtually retired, playing just a few tournaments through 1977. He made a last appearance in the Gstaad, Switzerland tournament in 1983.
Emerson now resides in Newport Beach, California and has a home in Gstaad where he holds a tennis clinic each summer. The main court for the Allianz Suisse Open Gstaad has been named "Roy Emerson Arena" in his honour. His son, Antony, was an All-American in tennis at Corona del Mar High School and the University of Southern California and played on the professional tour briefly. Roy and Antony won the United States Hard Court Father- and-Son title in 1978. Roy briefly coached promising juniors at East Lake Woodlands in Oldsmar, Fl. His students included Pat Cash, Kim Warwick, and Derek Damico.
Emerson was inducted into the International Tennis Hall of Fame in 1982

In 2011 the Blackbutt and District Tourism and Heritage Association was fortunate to be gifted the original Nukku State School. The Queensland Girl Guides Association had been using the building in Nanango until it folded. Roy Emerson attended Nukku State School for his early education. The building is now dedicated the Roy Emerson Museum. Photo contributed by Blackbutt and District Tourism Heritage Association.

With substantial help from the company Stanwell, and its Tarong Community Partnership Program, the building was relocated back to the Rail Head at Blackbutt only a few miles from where it originally stood. The committee has renovated the building thanks to financial assistance from community groups and additional fundraising. Some very successful events included the Nukku School Reunion; From Train Track to Walking Track -100 Years of Rail; displays and events to coincide with the Bloomin Beautiful Blackbutt Festival held in September each year.
The building is now home to many photos and articles relating to the history of Blackbutt, Benarkin, Taromeo, Googa Creek, Gilla and Nukku. The story boards tell of rail, timber, the Nukku State School and the outstanding Australian and International tennis player, Roy Emerson. Roy completed all of his primary school education at the Nukku State School.

Roy won an amazing 12 single Grand Slam titles and 16 double Grand Slam titles and was a key player in the many successful Davis Cup wins for Australia in the 1960’s. When Roy and his wife Joy attended a “Back to Blackbutt” luncheon in January 2015, former Mayor of South Burnett Regional Council, Wayne Kratzmann, highlighted Roy’s many achievements and pledged $2000 towards a statue of this great man.

The Association believed it was time our district recognised and showcased Roy’s exceptional career with a life size bronze statue to be situated near the Roy Emerson Museum. We have an exclusive connection to the rest of the world in Roy Emerson and proudly want to share our stories of his early days growing up in the Queensland bush as well as showcasing his stellar career – a fitting legacy to a most humble man.

It became the focus of the association to actualise this almost insurmountable project. Many, many hours have been spent trolling through archives, old video footage, organising functions, phone calls overseas, contact with Australian media and newspapers, editing the facebook page, introducing ourselves to famous people, asking for help and advice and establishing a petition to have part of the D’Aguilar Highway renamed the “Roy Emerson Way”.

We are very pleased to announce that the statue is in its final stages of completion and plans are underway for the establishment of the plinth. The projected unveiling will be 3 November this year, on the occasion of Roy’s 80th birthday.
Our recognition of Roy has revived interest in the game of tennis within our community and has seen the reestablishment of the Blackbutt Tennis Club (which began in the 1930s) after a closure of 8 years. The resurfacing of the two original courts is underway with everyone looking forward to a game in the not too distant future.
The statue, museum and courts will provide locals and tourists an extended insight into this talented player and his special connection to our small town in South East Queensland.
The Museum is open daily thanks to our small band of marvelous volunteers. Follow our progress on Facebook or contact members by email.

BIOGRAPHY: In a poem located - "Dedicated to Lieut. E. King" (Died of Wounds) written by the boys of his Platoon. He was a man and we all knew it. In his cool commanding way Every man would do his biding And by his side in battle stay; Born and bred to be a hero, He seemed to know the hearts of men, But that first battle was his ending; - We'll ne'er hear his voice again. T'was in Chermside that he joined us, Then to us just one of rank, But we all soon learned to love him His expressions were so frank. Highly disciplined, a true born soldier; But unlike his own colleagues To the wheel he'd put his shoulder Never thinking of fatigue. Oft you'd see him in the evening His wife's photo in his hand His whole being seemed to long for home; You'd almost feel his heart expand. Not forgetful of his loved ones, Never shirking duties call, Helping men to fight their worries Who without his aid were want to fall. On the day the battle started, Keen as any man could be He led his platoon into action Against the Japs beside the sea. "Forward lads!" his voice was ringing O'er the din of bursting shell -
Moving on, his spirit undaunted Through that searing leaded hell. But he wasn't long our leader, In that murderous bloody strife For he copped it, it was fatal; The one wound that cost his life. Tho' he's gone he's not forgotten By the lads he left behind And they've made the declaration When they're home, his wife they'll find Their respects they'll pay in honour Of a leader known to all They'll tell her and the World around
