This memorial to Frank A. Kindel is on a road side pull out on the north side of Highway 137 in Queen. The memorial is a pylon with an aircraft propeller, on a rock pedestal, and with a brass plaque. The plaque reads (in part)

IN MEMORIAM FRANK A. KINDEL THE FLYING PAPER BOY OF THE GUADALUPES October 30, 1892 - May 31, 1964

The remaining text describes Kindel's contributions to the citizens of this part of New Mexico. I was not able to determine if the propeller on the memorial is the one from his airplane.
