L'ERABLE. (St. John the Baptist)
Included in Chicago diocese up to 1877.
Name given to locality by P. Spink from St. John, P. Q., Canada. On the occasion of the Fourth of July cele- bration a few maple trees (L'Erable in French) were plant- ed at his residence a half mile north of the church, and it was decided to call the hamlet L'Erable. The maple leaf and the beaver are the French Canadian emblems (Beaver- ville). At first a small chapel was built and later enlarged. About 1858 a Belgian syndicate was formed to buy a tract of land four miles north of the village. The result was an emigration of Belgian families from villages north of Na- mur and Jodoigne (Brabant). Some of the pioneer settlers emigrated to Kansas (Concordia), some to Minnesota (Marshall) and a few families settled in North Dakota, Ne- braska and Iowa.

In early days the Catholic pioneer settlers in the ex- treme northwestern district of Kankakee county were attended by Rev.

Daniel Riordan and others who ministered to the first settlers, some of whom were later on members of SS. Peter and Paul's church, Pilot, and some of St. James church, Irwin district. Mass was celebrated either in pri-
-200-
vate homes (Ed Daylor's and others), or in Daylor's school house. Rev. Doctor McMullen built a small church at Braidwood, then called Stewart's Grove. In 1875 Rev. Thomas O'Gara built a rectory at Braidwood. The first resident pastor at Braidwood was the Rev. R. H. McGuire, who in 1878 was succeeded by Rev. James J. Bennett. In the fall of 1880 St. Lawrence O'Toole's was made an inde- pendent parish under the charge of Rev. M. Zara (Italian) whose incumbency was of short duration.

J. Rempe as its first pastor.
Rev. J. A. Rouquier
The Rev. John Alphonse Rouquier who labored so zeal- ously among the pioneer settlers in the southeastern terri- tory of Kankakee, was born in Villefranche, diocese of Rodez, France, in the year 1820. Although not directly concerned with this parish history he is mentioned here hav- ing been well known by many of our early settlers. His father had accompanied Napoleon the Third in the war with Spain. His mother died shortly after his birth, so that his education was left in the hands of the old soldier. It was the father's intention that he should be a physician and he began his course of studies to that effect in Paris. He soon developed other tastes, however, and joined the Holy Ghost congregation, being ordained a priest in 1851.
He was soon after sent as a missionary to the Island of Martinique where he worked zealously, and later to South America along the Amazon river in the Negro plantations, where he met with many experiences. In those days of various activities Father Rouquier served on the chapel boats of the Amazon river, before anyone dreamed of chapel cars. He minstered to the leper colonies of the Amazon, and helped to build schools and colleges in those growing countries.
A day came, however, when yellow fever brought him to the brink of the grave. He was sent back to France and to Rome for recuperation. After months of rest he re- turned to his missions but soon experienced that the old dis- ease would again attack him. The doctors advised him to go and he left the country after fifteen years of hard labor.
Coming to Boston in the winter he started at once for Montreal, Can. Here he spent a couple of years, helping out here and there temporarily. Bishop Foley of Chicago was at that time asking for priests for his French parishes
-204-
of Iroquois and Kankakee counties. Father Rouquier re- sponded to the bishop's invitation in 1871, and was appoint- ed as pastor of Beaverville, where he labored from 1872- 1874. From September 1874 until 1886 he was pastor of L'Erable, where he built the church and a school, but could not secure any sisters to teach.
A thirst for the missions and for martyrdom led him again to Indian territory where he spent three or four years. His old age, however, soon forced him back to the Peoria diocese where his last pastorate was Papineau, 1890- 1894 which he had helped to build many years before. He gave up the active life of a pastor in 1894, and spent some- time in L'Erable with the pastor, Father LeVasseur, and then made his home with Father Granger in Kankakee for the rest of his wonderful life as a priest and a missionary.
On the 25th of March,1905 he died in St. Francis' hos- pital, Peoria. Ill., where he had gone a few days before to pay a visit to his bishop, the great and learned L. Spauld- ing, who we are told was visibly affected when he learned of his death, having been such a good friend to the mission- ary. His remains were brought to Kankakee where sol- emn services were held in presence of all the clergy from the neighboring counties ,and he was laid to rest in the Bourbonnais cemetery, in the family lot of the Granger family, whom he had honored with his friendship for so many years.
[The above is an appreciation by the Rev. A. D. Gran- ger, who by his friendship with Father Rouquier was in a position to know and understand the grand soul of the wholehearted, venerable missionary.]
