1920 U.S. Air Mail pilot John P. Woodward was killed when he flew into a snowstorm near Tie Siding, on his way from Utah to Cheyenne. His plane crashed near Laramie, a few miles away.
From here.
The 26 year old Woodward was flying a DH4 when the crash killed him. He as last sighted over Laramie itself. In his honor, Woodward Field was named after him at 22nd West and North Temple in Salt Lake City, the city which he had last departed from at 11:30 that morning. He was to have landed in Laramie at 3:00 and nearly in fact made it.
Woodard Field is now the Salt Lake International Airport.
The Saturday Evening Post depicted a young woman having bobbed her hair.
She didn't look too happy about it in Coles Phillips' illustration.
