Wilson Murray Claggett 1931 - 2005

DALLAS, Texas - Wilson Murray Claggett went to be with the Lord January 3, 
2005, at his home in Dallas. He had been retired several years from the 
Internal Revenue Service in Dallas.

Claggett was born January 25, 1931, in the family farmhouse west of Big 
Cabin, Okla., to Fred Deweese and Bertha Agnes (Pitts) Claggett. He was 
the youngest son with 10 older brothers, one older sister and one younger 
sister. He is survived by four brothers, G.C. Claggett of Vinita, Okla., 
Gerald Claggett of Tulsa, Okla., Grover Claggett of Grove, Okla., and K.K. 
Claggett of Vinita.

Claggett attended Centerview Rural School through the eighth grade then 
graduated from Big Cabin High School in 1949. He later joined the armed 
forces and was assigned to a base in Hawaii where he served the remainder 
of his term. After his return home he worked on the family farm and held 
various other jobs before moving to Tulsa, where he was employed by the 
City of Tulsa. He held this position until moving to Dallas.

Wilson had a big heart and a great sense of humor. He was always ready to 
help any of the family when called upon; however, he never wanted any 
recognition for his generosity. He will be greatly missed by his remaining 
family and many friends.

Graveside services will be held on Saturday, January 8, at 10 a.m., at Big 
Cabin Cemetery.

Arrangements are under the direction of Burckhalter Funeral Home of 
Vinita.
