History
1
Harlan L. Raley bought a dental practice from Henry Potts in 1951 and practiced dentistry and orthodontics there until 2021, when he sold it to Thomas Carroll. A native of Clyde, he came to love Dublin after his father, William Raley, became superintendent of the Dublin schools. He enrolled at John Tarleton Agricultural College but left to enlist in the U.S. Navy during World War II and was stationed at Pearl Harbor near the end of the Pacific Theater. After the war he graduated from the University of Texas and then attended Baylor University College of Dentistry in Dallas. He married Eddie Louise Graham in 1955, was an avid member of the Flying Dentists Association for 30 years, and served several generations of patients at the same location for 70 years.
