Early life and education

Carter was born on April 17, 1892 in Washington, Virginia in Rappahannock County to French Pauline Carter and Judith M. Miller. He was educated at Augusta Military Academy and Hampden-Sydney College where he was a member of Kappa Alpha Order. He served as a Lieutenant in the United States Army in World War I. On June 7, 1923, Carter married Constance Curry in Staunton and embarked on the practice of law.[1]

Politics and career

Carter practiced law in Staunton and in 1935 was elected Mayor of Staunton for one term from 1936 - 1938. In 1940, he was a Delegate to the Democratic National Convention. During World War II, Carter again donned his uniform to serve the country with the rank of Lieutenant Colonel. After the war, Carter served as President of the Board of Visitors of the Virginia School for the Deaf and the Blind in Staunton. Curry was elected to the Virginia Senate from the 23rd District representing the City of Staunton, Augusta County and Highland County in the Shenandoah Valley. He represented that district (it was renumbered District 22 from 1956–1964 and Bath County was added and the City of Waynesboro was formed out of Augusta County); from 1964–1966, Carter represented the same district renumbered the 21st District. He retired from the Senate in 1966.

Death and memorials

Carter died in May 1970. Carter Hall at the Virginia School for the Deaf and the Blind is named for him.
