Arthur William Carton (November 16, 1886 – May 2, 1973) was a Canadian politician. He served in the Legislative Assembly of New Brunswick as member of the Progressive Conservative party from 1952 to 1960.[1][2][3] Arthur William Carton was born on 16 November 1886 in Chicago, later settling in Fairville (now part of Saint John, NB), where he pursued a career as a high-school principal before entering politics. Elected at nearly age 66 during the 1952 general election, Carton represented Saint John County as a member of the Progressive Conservative Party of New Brunswick, serving through two successive assemblies (42nd, 1952–1956; 43rd, 1956–1960). He was re-elected in 1956 but lost his seat in the 1960 election; though he did not hold cabinet office, he supported Premier Hugh John Flemming’s regional economic development initiatives. After retiring from politics, Carton lived in Saint John until his death on 2 May 1973, aged 86.[4][5]
