  ERNEST RENAUD, who has spent his life in Girard township, Clearfield county, 
Pa., is an enterprising and successful agriculturist and resides on a 10 1/2 
acre tract of land adjoining the homestead tract of 84 acres, which is owned by 
his brother, and which is situated fifteen and one-half miles from Clearfield.  
His parents were Victor and Mary Renaud, natives of France, who settled on this 
farm prior to his birth in 1870, and spent the remainder of their lives here.  
After his school days were over, Mr. Renaud assisted his father on the home 
farm and has continued to carry on general farming and stockraising, farming 
the old homestead for his brother.  His industry and good judgment have brought 
him success and he is numbered with the prosperous farmers of this section.
  In 1898 Mr. Renaud was married to Miss Ella Picard, who was born in Covington 
township, Clearfield county, and is also of French ancestry.  They have three 
children, Madeline, Alfonse and Charles.  Mr. Renaud and family are members of 
St. Mary's Catholic church at Frenchville.  He takes a good citizen's interest 
in township affairs, favoring good roads and good schools and for four years 
served as township supervisor.
