HARLAN, OF PARKFIELD, ANSWERS SUMMONS OF DEATH. The many friends of John A. Harlan, Parkfield pioneer, were shocked and grieved to learn of his death last Tuesday morning [September 21 in state death records]. Harlan retired the night before in the best of health and spirits, and from all indications, passed away during sleep without struggle or distress. John Harlan was born in Niles, Alameda county in 1864, the youngest son of William and Nancy Randal[l] Harlan. In 1874 he settled in Parkfield and in 1900 married Neva Cole, daughter of a well-known pioneer family. To this union were born four children, all of whom are living. Harlan had been engaged in farming and stock raising, and, although the years have not always been encouraging, he made a success of his life and lifework, regardless of innumerable obstacles. He realized early in life the value of scientific farming, and by strictly adhering to right methods, year after year, and applying himself diligently to whatever task was before him, made enviable reputation for himself as a successful dry farmer. He added to his original holdings until at the time of his death, he owned some of the best farm land in the Cholame valley. He will be missed from the community in which he lived for many years. He was of a quiet, unassuming nature, never clamering for attention but all who came in contact with him felt the strength of his character and recognized a serene high principled nature. His sincere loyalty to his family and friends was an outstanding characteristic of John Harlan. Parkfield has lost one of her best citizens and Monterey county one of her finest types of pioneers. Surviving Harlan is a wife, Neva, and four children. They are Gladys H. Durham, Parkfield; John L[aurence]. Harlan, Helm; Charles Percy [Harlan], Parkfield; and Wilda E[illeen] Roberts, Coalinga. He also leaves five grandchildren and two brothers. The latter are Charles A[lbert] Harlan, and Andrew [Jackson] Harlan."
