  	"50th Wedding Anniversary of Mr. and Mrs. Plaunt. At the residence of Xavier Plaunt, senr., there gathered on Monday evening a large party of friends to celebrate an event which is not the lot of many to see; it being the 50th anniversary of their marriage. Mr. Plaunt was born in the county of Berthier, Province Quebec on the 14th March, 1808. He was married on the 27th Feb., 1838 to Janet McLean, eldest daughter of Mr. John [sic - Thomas] McLean, Esq., of Elmsley, County of Lanark. Mrs. Plaunt was born on the 27th December, 1818, on the Scotch Line, near Perth. Mr. Plaunt settled on the land on which Renfrew now stands in 1827 and has from that time continuously resided in the County of Renfrew. He is widely known as for many years he kept a hotel both in Renfrew and on the Opeongo Road. Mr. Plaunt now resides on the farm where he settled first, on part of which a portion of the Village is located. Mr. Plaunt is the founder of Renfrew in-as-much as he sold the first village lot and gave in a true liberal spirit lots on which to erect churches, and for other public purposes. Again, when the C.P.R. endeavored to extend to Renfrew he assisted by giving land for the station for free."
