Kingsport lawyer Jackson C. “Jack” Raulston died on May 8. He was 91. A U.S. Navy veteran, Raulston graduated Vanderbilt Law School in 1952 after serving during World War II. He started his practice in Kingsport shortly afterwards and continued until his retirement in 2006. In 1961, Raulston became the youngest trial judge in Tennessee when he was appointed Judge Chancellor of the new Law and Chancery Court of Sullivan County. The family will receive friends from 4 to 7 p.m. CST on Wednesday at Rogers Funeral Home, 400 Laurel Ave, South Pittsburg. Services will be held at 11 a.m. on Thursday morning. In lieu of flowers, Raulston requested memorial contributions be made to Second Presbyterian Church in Chattanooga, the Pacific School of Religion in Berkeley, California, the Human Rights Campaign, or the National AIDS Memorial Grove.
