Edgar"Edd" Hixon, Claremore Chief of Police, was the first Scoutmaster for Troop 88 in 1958. Chief Hixson was killed in a vehicle pursuit which started shortly before midnight on Oct. 4, 1961. He had radioed to dispatch that he was chasing a Chevrolet. After his initial broadcast, radio contact was lost.

Responding officers located Chief Hixson's wrecked patrol car five miles west of Big Cabin. He was taken to Claremore Hospital where he succumbed to his injuries later in the morning. The suspects he was chasing were never identified.

Chief Hixson, a WWII Navy veteran, served with the Claremore Police Department for eight years.
