Radcliffe Killam (July 1, 1910 – September 8, 2007) was a wealthy oilman, rancher, businessman, and philanthropist in Laredo, the seat of Webb County in south Texas. He was a particular benefactor of various educational and medical institutions. In 1997, ''Worth'' cited the Killam family as one of the largest landowners in the United States, with . Part of that includes the Duval County Ranch west of Freer, which Killam purchased in 1994.〔
==Early years, education, military==

Killam was born in Grove in Delaware County in northeastern Oklahoma to Oliver Winfield Killam (1874–1959) and the former Harriet "Hattie" Smith (1876–1949), Killam's father was a member of the Oklahoma House of Representatives from 1911 to 1914 and the Oklahoma State Senate from 1915 to 1918. He worked for statehood of the former Oklahoma Territory and Indian Territory.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 History of the Killam Family )
Killam moved with his family, wife and three children, to Laredo in 1920, when Radcliffe was ten years of age. His father had come to south Texas to prospect for petroleum and natural gas on mineral leases that he had acquired while in business in Oklahoma. The third Killam well brought about an oil boom in Mirando City in eastern Webb County in 1921, nearly a decade before the better known East Texas Oil Boom centered about Kilgore. Killam grew up in the oil fields and spent his summers on the rigs.〔 He graduated in 1932 from Laredo High School, now Martin High School. He played on the former Laredo polo team and was a consummate horseman, who never complained, even when being thrown from a horse.〔 〕 Killam procured a bachelor's degree from the University of Texas at Austin and a law degree from Harvard Law School.〔 〕
After Harvard, Killam returned to Laredo to work with his father. In 1942, he enlisted in the United States Navy. He served first in the Atlantic and then was the commanding officer of a PT boat in the Pacific. He left the Navy in 1945 with the rank of lieutenant commander.〔
