Sept. 7, 2001


Talbotton:  Norman King Carter, Sr., 84, died Sept. 7.
Funeral services were held Sept. 10 at Talbotton
Methodist Church with burial following at Oak Hill
Cemetery.


Mr. Carter was born in Talbotton, son of the late Dr. and
Mrs. Grady Carter.  He was retired from the Department of
Transportation.  At age 21, Mr. Carter was elected Mayor
of Talbotton, the youngest mayor in the United States at
that time.  He was an expert shot when it came to quail
hunting, loved baseball, and always said that he could do
most anything but make a living!  However, this was
another one of his many jokes.


After retiring, Mr. Carter and his wife, Mary Virginia,
spent six months each year in Talbotton and six months in
Sapphire Valley, North Carolina where they enjoyed golf,
friends and fellowship.  He won the annual "Gentleman of
the Year" golf award at Sapphire Valley.


Survivors include his wife, Mary Virginia Carter; one son
and daughter-in-law Norman Carter, Jr. and Jane Carter;
two grandchildren; four great grandchildren.
Contributions in memory of Mr. Carter may be made to The
Golden Rule, PO Box 243, Butler, GA  31006.  Talbotton
Funeral Home was in charge of arrangements.
