Father Jean Pierre Gu6guen, O. M. I., was 

 born at Ploudalm6zeau, Bretagne, France, 

 September 18, 1838. Came to Canada in 1864 

 and went first to Maniwaki; was removed to 

 Lake Temiskaming in 1865 and visited the 

 missions of Abitibi, Mattawan, Temiskaming, 

 and Tamagaming. In 1867 he visited for the 

 first time the missions of the St. Maurice and 

 Mekiskan rivers, and in 1869 and 1870 went as 

 far as Lake Mistassini. This (1888) is the 22d 

 year that he has visited those missions of the 

 St. Maurice. He is considered by many the 

 most expert man of the Dominion in the Indian 

 languages. At the present time he resides at 

 Maniwaki, on the Gatineau River, and is work- 

 ing at the translation of the catechism and 

 other prayers and canticles into the dialect of 

 the Weymontaching Indians. — Lorrain.
