Foreword

As the wife of the compiler and writer of this book, I have asked to be allowed to add a brief foreword.

My husband, who is the eldest son of the late Bishop W. L. Williams, was 80 years of age when he began this work, and the task of reading through bundles of old letters and sorting out historical information has been a tremendous one.

When he was half-way through he suffered a slight stroke and lost the sight of one eye, but as soon as he had recovered he continued his task, and completed it at the age of 84, which I feel is a wonderful example of patience and perseverance.
