AMARILLO, Tex., Dec. 15 (UP) - Cleveland G. 'Jack' Hinerman, 73, a wealthy retired oil contractor, was killed by a train Saturday, while returning home from a hunting trip.
A Rock Island passenger train hit his automobile broadside. Police said there were signals at the crossing where he was killed but he apparently didn't see them or hear the train.
Hinerman came to Amarillo in 1927 and founded a drilling partnership with his brother Tom during the Borger oil boom. His brother retired two years later and he continued the drilling company.
He also owned half of the Gunn-Hinerman Tire Co., now Gunn Brothers. But Hinerman retired in 1940 and had devoted his time mostly to hunting, fishing and golfing.
