A view from 1939:
FROID, (2,026 alt., 434 pop.), formerly the home of
John W. Schnitzler, whose wheat fields covered
thousands of acres. His enthusiasm for aviation obtained an
excellent landing field for Froid and the
honor of being the only small town formally visited by
the great group flight around the Nation in July 1928. He was
killed, in 1932, when his private plane crashed against a high butte near Glasgow.
