Officer, United States Army. He spent most of his youth in St. Genevieve, Missouri, on the banks of the Mississippi River, then graduated from Howe Military School in Indiana.

Rinearson entered the US Military Academy from the state of Missouri, after attending the National Preparatory Academy (Braden’s). After graduation in 1916, he embarked on a long career in the Army, including service on the Mexican Border, and a tour in the Tactical Department at West Point, as well as tours in the Philippine Islands, in Hawaii, and in Panama.

He was retired with a partial disability, in 1952, spending his final years in San Antonio, Texas. Several years of illness preceded a stroke in early 1964 that led to his death on June 24th, in Kerrville, Texas.

He was interred with full military honors in the cemetery at Fort Sam Houston, Texas. He was survived by his wife, Fleurette; a son, Lieutenant Colonel Abram V. Binearson III, USMA Class of 1945; two daughters, Mrs. Elizabeth B. Pidgeon (wife of Colonel John J. Pidgeon, USMA Class of 1940), and Miss Fleurette E.
