History in a Pecan
Shell
In 1926 an oil well was drilled on J. H. Fry's property, and
the community grew as the field began to produce. A post office opened in 1927,
and by 1929 Fry had a population of 200. Oil production slowed in the 1930s as
the field became depleted, and in 1941, when the community had a church, two businesses,
and scattered dwellings, the population had fallen to 100. By 1949 it was forty,
and by 1964 all that remained at the site was a cemetery.
