   BARNWELL
   A friendship that spanned nearly a century was brought to a quiet
   close with the deaths of two friends within a few weeks of each other.
   Joe BARNWELL died December 22, 1984 and Abraham TWO FEATHERS passed
   away January 6, 1985.
   Joe BARNWELL was born June 1, 1875 at Hitchita, Indian Territory. He
   died December 22, 1984 at an Okmulgee nursing home. Graveside services
   were conducted December 24 at the Okmulgee Cemetery.
   He was a house builder in the Hitchita area for many years. He served
   as a translator for the Federal government during the change over from
   Indian Territory to the State of Oklahoma in 1907.
   He was preceded in death by his wife Emma BARNWELL in January 1962 and
   by his daughter Greta KEELS in 1977. He had many friends and was
   honored by them each year on his birthday.
