Dr. Jackman, Health Officer, Retired Clinic Physician, Dies

Olmsted County Health Officer Dr. Raymond J. Jackman, 67, of 2006 Southfield
Ct. SW, died Friday of a heart attack during a family visit to a farm near
Laurens, Iowa.

A noted physician, he was president of the Minnesota Medical Association
in 1970-71, president of the Minnesota Health Board in the 1960's and was
once chairman of a section of the American Medical Association.

He was named county health officer 16 months ago following retirement in
1971 from Mayo Clinic where he had been a senior consultant in proctology
for four years and head of the proctology section for 15 years.

Dr. Jackman launched his medical career in Iowa, where he was born May
16, 1906 at Emmetsburg. He received a medical degree from the University
of Iowa and entered practice with a colleague at Fort Dodge in 1931. In
1932-35, he practiced at Laurens and married the former Lois Hovenden of
Laurens in Chicago in 1934. She died in March 1972.

In 1935, Dr. Jackman entered the Mayo Graduate School of Medicine here.
He joined the Clinic staff in 1938.

He was a published author of numerous papers, films and books on proctology
and was a former member of the board of examiners of the American Board
of Colon and Rectal Surgery.

A civic leader, Dr. Jackman was president of the Rochester Board of Public
Health and Welfare from 1947 to 1954 and was a member of the Rochester
Charter Commission in 1942 -1950. He had been president of the Rochester
Gulf and Country Club.

In May of this year, he married the former Kathleen Schmidt in Rochester.
He is survived by his widow; two sons who are physicians, Steven, a Mayo
resident in radiology, and Roger of Palo Alto, California; one daughter,
Mrs. Walter (Colette) Miller of Rochester; one brother, Dr. James of Erie,
Pa; one sister, Mrs. Margaret Spencer of Palo Alto, Calif., and eight grandchildren.

The family prefers memorials to either St. Marys Hospital here or Rochester
Methodist Hospital.

Funeral services will be at 1:30 p.m. Monday at St. John's Catholic Church
here, with Rt. Rev. Msgr. Raymond Jansen, pastor, officiating.

Private graveside services at Calvary Cemetery will follow, with Drs. John
Hill, Clyde Culp, Robert Spencer, Mark Anderson Jr., and W. A. Merritt
and Robert Bezoier serving as pallbearers.
