Obituary:
During the week the town of Branford has had removed by death one of her steadfast, truest sons- Mr. John Plant. No man ever lived that possessed a kinder heart than was his; no man ever breathe that was truer in every relation of husband, father, friend and citizen. He was a true lover of his country, and a true Christian. We revered him in life, and now that he is dead, we shall not soon lose remembrance of him. With the bereaved ones we warmly sympathize, remembering, however, that in this loss he reaps an eternal gain.
The funeral of Mr. Plant occurred last Wednesday afternoon from his late residence in Plantsville. The general service was held at the house. A stranger riding through the village, noting the large assemblage of vehicles at the dwelling, and particularly at this season of the year when the farmer is active in cultivation, would say, and truly, "a more than ordinary man has fallen". Mr. Plant was born and nurtured on the same farm that for two hundred years had descended in line of ancestry to him. He was the senior Deacon of the Congregational Church, and its strongest prop. The Reverend C. P. Osborne is the pastor of the flock. He officiated at the burial. From the house the remains were borne to the church, where a short but impressive service was held, the Pastor making brief but very tender remarks of the dead. On some other occasion he will enter more fully into the life and character of the departed. One fact he stated, viz: "that since the entrance of 1881 the church had lost eight of its members by death and now had taken its best loved one". The organist sent down from her perch plaintive melody, the choir sang in harmony a few appropriate hymns, a few moments were given to the friends of the deceased to look for the last time upon the dead. when the lid of the casket was closed and all that was once mortal of Deacon John Plant was borne to the tomb, by the the hands of Deacons Henry Linsley and Babcock and S. Edward Linsley, Bradley Chidsey, David Beach, John Bartholomew, Timothy Palmer, and John R. Baldwin, Esqs. Mr. Henry W. Crawford of Fairhaven West, was Master of the Funeral Ceremonial.
2nd Obituary:

He was seventy-five years of age and belonged to an old Branford family after which Plantsville, the section of the town in which he lived, was named.He had been for many years engaged in fruit culture, and was one of Branford's most esteemed citizens and was honored and respected where ever he was known.
