Sam Jones, was born in Portadown, the North of Ireland in 1877.

He went into the work in 1904 and is on the 1905 Workers List.

He went to South Australia in 1908 and was in Tasmania about 20 years.

After a home visit in 1938 he returned to Australia,
and in his first mission his companion left him.

Beeing discouraged, Sam gave him what little money he could give,
but was worn out with the journey, and took shelter in an empty house.

Next day he found himself so weak that he could not walk and he stayed there for 18 days,
Some Gypsies found him half dead, but giving him some food, restored him to life again.

Some little time after this he wrote the hymn, "Thy bleeding feet"—No. 179.
He loved to study nature, as also the Scriptures, and on Sunday, April 14, 1946,
he went out for his usual morning walk never to return, as he died of heart failure.

He wrote 91 hymns .
