Joseph and Wealthy Ann Brown Barnett's Log Cabin...

"As a great-great-grandson of Joseph and Wealthy Ann Brown Barnett, you can imagine how pleased I am to see those logs getting off the ground. One of the interesting things is that there just weren't any log cabins in that part of the country. There were almost only cottonwood and elm trees to begin with and not many of those. However, Joseph's land was on the banks of the Cimarron River and he pulled those cedar logs out of the river with horses. A century later they still exist, and thanks to the efforts of the Waynoka Historical Society, in particular those of Sandie Olsen, the house will be preserved for future descendants of the area pioneers to see. The down side of all this is that they need more money to finish the project. Donations of any size would be welcome." -- Charles M.
