William Willes
William Willes (1814–1890) was an early Latter-day Saint songwriter and, along with Hugh Findlay, was one of the first Mormon missionaries to enter India.
Willes was born in England. He was well-educated and by the age of 22 became head of a boys' college in Cardiff, Wales. He lost his position as a result of joining the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in 1848.〔Davidson, Karen Lynn. ''Our Latter-day Hymns''. Deseret Book, 1988, p. 459. ISBN 0-87579-137-9.〕 In 1851 he and Findlay traveled to India, where they met limited success. He sailed for the United States in 1855.
Willes served as a "Sabbath School missionary" after his arrival in Utah. He was an accomplished singer and premiered a song by Eliza R. Snow at the Salt Lake City 4 July celebration in 1861.〔Eliza R. Snow: Poems for July. ''Joseph Fielding Smith Institute for Latter-day Saint History.'' smithinstitute.byu.edu. (). Accessed 19 August 2007.〕〔''Deseret News'' (10 July 1861), p. 148-50.〕
Willes has the following hymns to his credit in the current LDS hymnal:
* Come Along, Come Along, 244
* Thanks for the Sabbath School, 278
Willes is no relation to early Mormon figure William S. S. Willes.
