MENARD, Rene, French missionary, born in Paris in 1604" died near Lake Superior in August, 1661. He entered the Society of Jesus in 1624, went to Montreal in 1640, and was the confessor of the Daileboust family in that city. He was sent soon afterward as a missionary to the Nipissings and other Algonquin tribes, and labored among them till the Iroquois subdued the Hurons, when he was stationed at Three Rivers. When a mission was begun among the Iroquois, he was sent among the Cayugas and Oneidas of central New York, where he labored with success in 1656-'60, although he was often subjected to personal violence. After the suspension of the Iroquois missions he was sent to the Ottawas on Lake Superior, and established the mission station of St. Therese on Keweenaw bay. In the summer of 1661, in response to the appeal of some fugitive Hurons on Black river, he set out to visit them, and perished in some unknown manner while on the journey. A county in Illinois is named for him.
