JOHN LAIANDE 1646 OHN DE LALANDE was bom at Dieppe, France — date unknown. Scarcely more than a lad, he left his native land with the high intention of devoting his life to the service of God in the New World. Upon his arrival in Quebec, he offered himself formally to the Jesuit Superior, as a donne, and vowed to work among the savages as a lay assistant to the missionaries, without recompense, and to lead a life of celibacy. The two following years were spent laboring with the Jesuits in Canada. On September 24, 1646, in the company of Father Jogues and some Huron Indians, he started by canoe on a long and perilous journey for Ossemenon (Auriesville, N.Y.). As they neared the end of the trip some weeks later, they were overtaken by the Mohawks. Brought captive to the village on October 17th, Jogues was martyred the following evening, while Lalande was confined in one of the cabins. Learning of Jogues ' death, he stealthily crept out, when the night was far spent, in the hope of finding Jogues body and burying it. But savage guards rose like specters out of the earth, tomahawked him, and Lalande gave up his soul to God early on the morning of October 19, 1646. His head was staked on a fence beside that of Jogues, and his body hurled into the Mohawk River.
