Johann Georg Bausum

Johann Georg Bausum, also known as John George Bausum, (born 8 June 1812 at Rodheim vor der Höhe, near Frankfurt am Main, Germany, died 1 Aug 1855 in Penang, Straits Settlements (today Malaysia)) was a Christian Protestant missionary.

Starting from 1837, he carried on a "flourishing school" with Chinese and Malays in Province Wellesley. When the London Missionary Society, which had been involved in educational outreach to the Chinese on Penang Island since 1819, decided to withdraw from Penang in 1844 to focus their efforts on China, Bausum stepped in to take over the educational work of the LMS mission.
