Long-time Campbell County supervisor Calvin Carter dies

Long-time Campbell County supervisor Calvin Carter has died.

Carter, 83, of Lynch Station, did not seek re-election to the Altavista district seat last year after serving as a supervisor for 28 years. He died Monday. 

Carter was well-known throughout the county and particularly in Leesville, where Carter’s Store has been a mainstay of the community for years and years. He had operated the store since he took it over from his father more than 40 years ago.
