Luke, Jemima Thompson, the wife of Rev. Samuel Luke, an Independent minister of England, was the daughter of Thomas Thompson. She was born August 19, 1813, at Colebrooke Terrace, Islington. When only thirteen years of age she began writing for the Juvenile Magazine. She published a volume titled The Female Jesuit in 1851 and A Memoir of Eliza Ann Harris, of Clifton, in 1859, but her name is known to the Christian world almost wholly through the one hymn found in this volume, I think when I read that sweet story of old. She was married to the late Samuel Luke, a Congregational Minister, in 1843. Mrs. Luke died February 2, 1906.
