#5: A Holly community 4th of July picnic is gathered here in front of the Bourke's Point Post Office & Store. This store, Holly's second (Robert Wyatt Sr. previously had one on the main floor of his home), was started by John Youngblood and his wife Minehaha in 1900. The Youngblood's sold it to Fred Wyatt in 1902. The ice cream for the cones everyone is enjoying were delivered by a sternwheeler on it's daily run from Seattle. The individuals pictured here are identified on a separate sheet. Photograph donated by Frieda Wyatt
