Palatine Enterprise [Palatine IL] January 1, 1915
Aurora - Capt. Octave Landry, pioneer skipper of the Fox river, died at his 
home here, aged seventy-eight. The traditional story is told of him that while 
sailing the Mayflower, the first passenger boat on the river, he ordered the 
mate to throw the anchor to a rival ship which was in distress although the 
anchor had no rope. "It will show them we mean well," Captain Landry said.
