Landry, Arthur, attorney and notary public, New Orleans, was born at New 
Orleans, La., April 24, 1875; son of Ernest and Henriette (Juge) Landry, 
the former of whom, now retired, was for many years prominently identified 
with banking interests of the city of New Orleans.  He, the father, was 
born in St. James parish, La., and is a son of Silver Landry, who married 
a Miss Reber, of German descent, while he was of French lineage and a 
member of an Arcadian family which early settled in Louisiana.  Ernest 
Landry was yet very young when his father died.  He attended Cape Girardeau 
college (Mo.) up to the age of 15 years, when, returning to New Orleans, he 
finally drifted into the banking business.  When the Civil war came on he 
enlisted in the Confederate army as a member of Bridge's battery and served 
with gallantry throughout the war.  After the surrender he returned to New 
Orleans and resumed his banking connections, from which he finally retired 
in 1900.  His wife was born at Donaldsonville, La., and was of French 
lineage.  Arthur Landry is one of 8 children born to his parents.  He was 
reared in New Orleans and graduated from the Jesuit college in 1892 with 
the degree of A. B.  In 1893 he received the degree of A. M. from the same 
institution.  Following this, he entered the law school of Tulane 
university and in due time graduated from that institution of learning 
with the degree of LL.B.  For several years after obtaining his legal 
degree he was associated in practice with the firm of Louque & McGloin, 
but later began practice alone, and has so continued to this time, enjoying 
a lucrative and highly gratifying clientele.  Mr. Landry is affiliated with 
the Catholic church and is a member of the Knights of Columbus and the 
Benevolent & Protective Order of Elks.  In 1909 Mr. Landry was married to 
Miss Honora Newman, a daughter of the late Thomas Newman of New Orleans.  
One son, Arthur Francis, has been born to their union.  It should be stated 
that during the time of the Spanish-American war Mr. Landry served 6 months 
as a member of Battery A, La. light artillery.
