Clayton W. Williams, Sr.
Clayton Wheat Williams, Sr. (April 15, 1895 – September 9, 1983),〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Social Security Death Index )〕 was an engineer, a geologist, an oilman, a World War I military officer, a rancher, a county commissioner and civic leader, an historian, and a philanthropist from Fort Stockton, Texas.
==Early years, family, education, military==
Williams was the fourth child of Oscar Waldo Williams, a Harvard University-educated lawyer who would serve for a decade as the Pecos county judge, and the former Sallie Wheat, hence his middle name. Williams was born in an officers’ building of the former Fort Stockton Army base, which had housed the famous Buffalo soldiers of the American West from 1867-1886.〔Mike Cochran, ''Claytie: The Roller-Coaster Life of a Texas Wildcatter'', College Station, Texas: Texas A&M University Press, 2007, pp. 30, 381; hereinafter cited as ''Claytie''〕 The Kentucky-born O.W. Williams had prospected for gold and silver in Silver City, New Mexico, before he came to Fort Stockton. O.W. was in New Mexico during the heyday of Geronimo and Billy the Kid. He was also a suspect in the shotgun death of a "rogue" sheriff named A.J. Royal, but the killer was never apprehended, and Clayton Williams, Sr., said that his father was not the culprit.〔''Claytie'', p. 15〕
After attending Fort Stockton public schools, Williams enrolled in 1911 at Texas A&M University in College Station. To reach TAMU, he travelled by stagecoach north to Monahans (known for its sand dunes) and then took the railroad north-east to Dallas and south to College Station. In 1915, Williams received a Bachelor of Science degree in electrical engineering.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Ernest Wallace, "Clayton W. Williams, Sr.", ''The Handbook of Texas'' )〕
He was then employed for two years in New Mexico as an electrician for a mining company. In 1917, he joined the officers’ training camp at Leon Springs in Bexar County, and soon procured a commission as a second lieutenant from the artillery school at Fortress Monroe, Virginia. He volunteered for duty in France. Until the end of the war, he was an instructor in military schools in Langres and Cleremont-Ferrand, France.〔 In 1919, Williams was in Paris, where he joined a group of veterans who formed the American Legion.〔''Claytie'', pp. 30-31〕
