The Carter Family

I am a fan of the Carter family's music. Ward Weems provided the following photograph and caption from LIFE Magazine.


The Carter Family at their Poor Valley, Virginia home, 1941. A. P., Ezra, with his wife Maybelle and young daughters, Anita, June and Helen with A.P's wife Sara next to grand-daughter Flo Millard and Gladys Carter Millard, with Maybelle's mom Margaret Addington and A.P.'s son Joe. Photographed by Eric Schaal for LIFE Magazine.

That is June Carter, as in June Carter Cash later on.

These are two of my favorite Carter Family songs:


The Carter Family Wabash Cannon Ball


Carter Family-East Virginia Blues No.1
