Washington St., admitted late Sunday to St. Joseph's Hospital following an automobile accident at Blossom, died there at 5:20 p.m. Tuesday, July 25. According to local Highway Patrolman, Mr. Tinnin was listed as the ninth Lamar County traffic fatality of 1967. Former owner of Famous Shoe Store, which he sold to Glenn Edwards in 1936, Mr. Tinnin was one of two surviving charter members of the Paris Lions Club, long active in civic and social life of Paris. Funeral service, Thursday at 10:30 a.m., will be held in Fry & Gibbs chapel by the Rev. Ed Barcus of First Methodist Church. Interment will be in Evergreen Cemetery, Lions Club members being designated honorary bearers. Born in Paris, March 31, 1883, Burnett W. Tinnin was a son of Hugh and Emma (Johnson) Tinnin, and he married Miss Dorrell Fuller of Sumner, Sep. 21, 1910. His wife survives, besides one brother, Hugh W. Tinnin, Paris, and several nieces and nephews. Burnie Tinnin attended Paris schools and Eastman Business College at Poughkeepsie, NY, before going to work for Hutchison & Stephens Famous Shoe Store on the north side of the plaza, in the early 1900s. Except for two years with the E.M. Kahn Store in Dallas and three in Washer Bros. in Fort Worth, he had been with the Famous ever since its sale 31 years ago, he having become its sole owner in 1927. He had served on the Chamber of Commerce board of directors, heading the retail division which first sponsored trades days here, and was a member of the old Lamar Country Club, absorbed into the Camp Maxey property, its lake being famous for fishing, which was Mr. Tinnin's hobby.'
