HAD PRESERVED PARENTS' DEDICATION TO COUNTRY MUSIC
ASSOCIATED PRESS KINGSPORT, Tenn. -

Janette Carter, the last surviving child of country music's founding Carter Family, who in recent years preserved her parents' old-time style with weekly performances, has died. She was 82.

Carter was the daughter of A.P. and Sara Carter.
Her parents and her father's sister-in-law Maybelle Carter formed a singing trio discovered in 1927 when talent scout Ralph Peer came through the Tennessee-Virginia border town of Bristol to record mountain music.
The best known of her generation to present-day listeners was country star June Carter Cash, a daughter of Maybelle and wife of Johnny Cash.
