Christopher Hutton
Christopher William Clayton Hutton (1893–1965) a soldier, airman, journalist and inventor, was recruited as an intelligence officer to work for MI9, a branch of the British Military Intelligence, during the Second World War. Known as 'Clutty' to his friends, he was engaged towards the end of 1939 by the War Office to work under Major (later Brigadier) Norman Crockatt, in order to set up and run operations to create and distribute escape and evasion aids for Allied servicemen. Hutton's small team identified suitable manufacturers, ensured supplies and devised methods by which the concealed aids could be sent to prisoner of war camps.
Clayton W. Williams Sr.
In 1983, Williams was diagnosed with terminal cancer. He reacted "stoically. ... All is well. I am not afraid." Shortly before his death, the family attended a cattle auction and barbecue at their ranch near Alpine. A photograph of the couple then taken, presumably their last in public together, is included in the Mike Cochran 2007 book, "Claytie: The Roller-Coaster Life of a Texas Wildcatter". The picture is also displayed in the J. Evetts Haley Museum in Midland. Williams died a few days later the day before their 55th wedding anniversary. Chicora lived another 15 years. They are interred at East Hill Cemetery in Fort Stockton.
