Harlan Franklin Jackson, age 80, of Raymond, died at home early Tuesday morning, just as he wished, and surrounded by his family after a short illness.
Harlan was a farmer all his life. He took great joy in watching crops growing in the field and
watched the change of the seasons in anticipation of new growth. He loved to garden and
shared the fruits of his gardening with anyone who was interested. He became a prize pie baker in his later years.
