Rare Color Photos Show the Sedro-Woolley Celebration of the July 4, 1939 _ OldTimeUS

   

Harold J. Renfro, Born December 14th, 1904 and passed away January 30th, 2003, was a postman here in Sedro-Woolley, Washington, and would walk sixteen miles for his route. He was also an amateur photographer and couldn’t wait until the weekend to go out and snap shots!!!

Renfro enjoyed sharing his photography with his friends and held slide shows in his home, but that was it. These pictures have never been published or have never seen the light of day for at least 30 years.
 
These amazing Kodachrome slides were found by Brett Sandström that Renfro captured the Sedro-Woolley celebration of the July 4 in 1939.
