John De Laittre (March 5, 1832 – September 19, 1912) was a businessman and the 10th mayor of Minneapolis, Minnesota. ==Early life== De Laittre was born in 1832 to Charles De Laittre and Rosalie Levalle Desisles. As a child he helped with work on the family farm and attended local schools. After turning 18, he worked for several years on fishing boats operating in the Bay of Fundy and Straits of Belle Isle. In 1852, he decided to move to California, arriving in San Francisco, California later that year and making his way to Murphys, California to prospect for gold with an old friend. While the two were unsuccessful in mining for gold, De Laittre became involved in a profitable mill which supplied lumber to the area's miners and also invested in other local businesses. In May 1860, he returned home to visit his mother who was in poor health. After her death in October 1860, he returned to California after a brief stop in Conway, New Hampshire to deliver some letters on behalf of friends. While visiting there he became engaged to Clara Eastman and promised he would settle his affairs in California and return within 6 months. Soon after he returned to California the American Civil War began, delaying his return until after the war had ended. The two were married in July 1865 at the William K. Eastman House and, after briefly visiting Boston and New York, the two decided to set out for Minneapolis, Minnesota to connect with Clara's brother who had moved there previously.〔
