Lewis Gordon Blackmore (21 May 1886 – 23 July 1916) was an Australian rules footballer who played with Essendon in the Victorian Football League (VFL). ==Family and early life== Lewis' father, Edwin Gordon Blackmore (1837–1909), an Englishman from Bath, the son of a doctor, had fought as a volunteer in the "Maori Wars" with the Taranaki Rifle Volunteer Corps from 1863 to 1864, and had moved to South Australia and had established himself in Adelaide. He was a co-founder of the Adelaide Club, the Adelaide Hunt Club, and served the Clerk of the South Australian Legislative Council from 1886 and, later, served as the Clerk of the Federal Parliaments.〔(Death of Mr. Blackmore: A Great Constitutionalist ''The Advertiser'', (Tuesday, 23 February 1909), p.8. )〕 Lewis' mother, Eleanora Elizabeth Farr (1847–1901), was the eldest daughter of ven. Archdeacon George Henry Farr (1819–1904), M.A., LL.D. and Julia Warren Ord.〔Marriages: Blackmore—Farr, ''South Australian Register'', (Thursday, 4 January 1872), p.4.〕 Lewis had four older brothers, Gordon Patteson Blackmore (1872–1941), George Edward Blackmore (1874–1936), James Gairdner Blackmore (1876–?), Edwin Ord Blackmore (1879–?), two older sisters, Jane Gordon Drummond Blackmore (later, Mrs. Granville Sharp) (1881–1942), Eleanor Mary Blackmore (1884–1891), and one younger brother, John Coleridge Blackmore (1888–?). His older brother Quartermaster Sergeant George Edward Blackmore (No.85), had served in the Boer War with the Third South Australian Citizens' Bushmen Contingent. He attended St Peter's College, Adelaide, and moved to Melbourne Grammar School in 1903. He was a prefect at Melbourne Grammar, and played cricket and football for the school's First XI and First XVIII in 1904〔(A School Match, ''The Argus'', (Tuesday, 20 December 1904), p.7. )〕 and 1905.〔(Public School Match: Melbourne Grammar School v. Wesley College, ''The Argus'', (Saturday 25 November 1905), p.18. )〕〔Note that Main and Allen's assertion (2002, p.21) that, "Following his matriculation in 1905, Blackmore studied engineering at the University of Melbourne as a resident of Trinity College…" is wrong; these facts apply to Lewis' brother, John Coleridge Blackmore, who matriculated in 1905 ((University of Melbourne: Matriculation: December Examination: Melbourne Candidates Passed, ''The Argus'', (Saturday, 7 January 1905), p.19 )), was a bowler and tail-end batsman (Lewis was an opening bat and wicket keeper) for the University First XI in the District Cricket competition ((Fitzroy v. University, ''The Argus'', (Tuesday 28 January 1908), p.7 )). Also, their statement (p.22) that Lewis was awarded a "Blue" for cricket is also wrong; it was awarded to his brother.〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Lewis Blackmore」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
