In 1925 Carver was appointed Vermont Attorney General, filling the vacancy caused by the resignation of Frank C. Archibald. Carver was elected to full terms in 1926 and 1928, and served from 1925 to 1931.[4][5]
In the 1930s Carver practiced law in partnership with Stanley C. Wilson, F. Ray Keyser Sr., and Deane C. Davis. Their firm was described as Vermont's "best ever collection of legal talent," in that it included one Vermont Supreme Court Justice (Keyser), two Governors (Wilson and Davis), and one state Attorney General (Carver).[6]
Carver died in Barre on July 22, 1942.[8] He was buried at Elmwood Cemetery in Barre.[9]
Family
In 1911, Carver married Zoe H. Towers of Richmond.[9]
