Carter reflects on life

By Matt Flumerfelt
The Valdosta Daily Times

Carter still lives in Clyattville on the 114-acre farm he inherited from his parents. He said he has made a few improvements to the house since moving there in 1941. He lost his wife of 65 years this past April. Together, they raised three daughters, and he now has eight grandchildren and 17 great-grandchildren.

Carter said it’s bittersweet reaching the end of a long career that he’s enjoyed. His immediate plans for the future are to complete his term on the county commission. He said at his age he doesn’t plan too far in advance, but there are plenty of opportunities to volunteer and stay involved in the community.
