Guyon Carter was one of 180 district school superintendents elected Aug 15, 1911 in the first election under then a new New York State law providing for supervisory districts. When Guyon retired in June 1956, he was the last of the state’s original district school superintendents. At the time of his retirement, Guyon was superintendent of a Northern Steuben County district that included Avoca, Cohoctan, Prattsburg, and Wayland. When Guyon registered for the WWI draft on 12 Sep 1918; he was Superintendent of Schools, State of New York in Avoca (Steuben), NY. He and Laura lived on Oliver St. in Avoca. When the 1920 census was taken, Guyon and Laura were living in Avoca, and he was still superintendent of schools. When the 1930 census was taken, Guyon and Laura were living in Avoca (Steuben), NY. Guyon was still a superintendent of schools. In 1910 when Guyon J. Carter was manager of The Men’s dormitory of Burdick Hall (Alfred University) in Alfred, NY; he wrote a letter to the War Pension Department in Washington, D.C. He seemed to be in possession of domestic papers showing to a great extent his family’s genealogy. The papers showed that he had information from III-Antoine to his day. However, Guyon assumed that III-Antoine Chartier who was his first ancestor had come from France as a soldier with General Lafayette during the American Revolutionary War. In 1920 when Guyon was Superintendent of Supervisory District No. 6 of the New York State Department of Education for Stueben County, he wrote another letter to to the War Pension Department. At that time he was informed about the place and date of the birth of III-Antoine. In 1982 both Jean Robert and Vernon Chartier had the chance to correspond with him; and Guyon was still able to write his own letters. Guyon died in St-Petersburg, Florida on 21 Jan 1990 at the age of 104 years. He had no children by either one of his wives.
