Alfred George Jones (Chinese: 仲鈞安; pinyin: Zhòng Jūn'ān, 23 July 1846 - 17 July 1905) was an Irish baptist missionary to China. Jones had his own business in his native town of New Ross, Ireland, but left it in the hands of a manager in order to go on his mission to China.[1] He attended Lancashire Independent College, a dissenting academy from 1874 to 1876 and arrived in Yantai, Shandong in 1876.[2] In the following year, he went to Qingzhou to assist Timothy Richard by keeping the accounts for an ongoing relief effort for the victims of the Northern Chinese Famine of 1876–1879.[1] He continued to reside in Qingzhou with the exception of the period from 1889 to 1896, during which he lived in Zouping. He died when a temple building on Taishan, Tai'an in which he was sleeping collapsed during a storm.[2]
