Jean-Marie Coquard
Reverend Father Jean-Marie Coquard (27 November 1859 – 27 June 1933) was a French Christian medical missionary who traveled to Abeokuta, Nigeria, which is the capital of the Ogun State, to provide surgery and care. He was supervisor and visitor at the Abeokuta missionary and doctor to the Egba Government and Royal Family. He is known for establishing the Sacred Heart Hospital in Abeokuta, being the longest serving missionary of the Society for African Missions, receiving an OBE for his work, being recognized by the government of Nigeria, and being “a stubborn individualist with a contentious streak” and one of the outstanding missionaries of his generation.
==Early Life and Family==
Jean-Marie Coquard was born on November 27, 1859 in the Diocese of Nantes, France into a Catholic working-class family.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url= )〕 Coquard was the second child and only son of Marie Louise and Francois-Marie Coquard, a ''paludier'' and cattle farmer. A few years after his birth, Coquard’s family moved to the hamlet of Fontainebras. However, much of Coquard early life and schooling took place in the village of Mesquer, where he attended the school of the Brothers of Christian Instruction. Then, at fourteen, Coquard enrolled in the merchant navy, where he first developed his love for the sea and desire to travel. Coquard recalled his years in the merchant navy fondly, writing many years later after becoming a missionary in Africa, “To see so many beautiful sailing ships in port and to chat with the crewmen makes going to sea irresistible for a twelve-year old boy from Mesquer.”
