Click on the photo to see a larger image.
Fourth of July Parade, probably 1907, possibly 1908. On the back of a copy of the photo is typed, "Shows the Bothell Town Band leading a parade back across the Riverside Bridge toward Main Street." Several floats are following the band. A man with a sash mounted on a light-colored horse leads the parade, followed by a male flag bearer mounted on a dark horse. The poles on either side of the bridge in the foreground have signs pasted on them that read Pyles Pearline, which was an advertisement for a washing compound. Norway Hill is to the immediate right side of the bridge. Handwritten on the back of one of the original photos is, "House straight back from end of bridge was home of my grandmother Ida Kraase and her daughter Bertha and (her son ??) -in-law Robert John Magwood for many years. In center is old Pearson home. My father lived there ... little over a year and died there September 17, 1953. Beatrice Spinney McGarrigle." We believe the dark house closest to the road at the end of the bridge is the home of Ida Kraase. Squak Slough by Amy Stickney, says the photo probably taken in 1907. A copy of the photo says that it was taken prior to 1908. Handwritten in pencil on the back of one of the original photos is "1908." Handwritten on the back of one of the original photos is, "Donated by Beatrice McGarrigle 10/28/72." On the back of the copy of the photo is typed, "Photo loaned by Mrs. Ross Worley Sr., Woodinville."
