A few years before his death, Harlan gave his property to the town and moved into the town farm (poor farm). A few days before Harlan died, he wandered away into the nearby woods. When night came and he didn't return, several persons searched for him, but didn't find him until the next day. He was found in a dazed condition, sitting on a boulder next to an old logging road. He lived for only a few days after that.
