William Elgood Smallfield, having written and published ‘The Story of Renfrew Volume One’, intended to continue on with a Volume Two but ill health intervened and he died in 1926. His son, William Hamilton Smallfield, continued on with this. Unfortunately, his effort was also cut short with his death in 1928. The result is this unfinished copy.
