DescriptionPortrait of Francis Jeffrey Ivory, brother of James and Alexander Ivory. He worked for his brother James at Eskdale and in 1858 he bought Eidsvold station from the Archer brothers, with his brother, Alexander. He represented the Burnett in the Legislative Assembly from 1873 to 1878. When gold was discovered at Eidsvold, the property was heavily mortgaged and in 1887 was taken over by the Australian and New Zealand Mortgage Co. Francis, and his brother Alexander are also traditionally accepted as beginning golf in Queensland when they had a few holes laid on their Eidsvold Station, in the 1880s. Although this is queried with an earlier golf course in the Stanthorpe area. References (offline)Australian Dictionary of Biography, v. 4, 1972R.A. & M.L.
