In 1880, he married Mary Street.[1] Carr operated a general store in Powassan but moved his business to Cobalt in 1905 after silver was discovered there. His business was destroyed by fire and he became involved in mining. Carr later retired, living in Hamilton and Barrie until his wife's death around 1924, when he moved back to Powassan. He suffered heart problems and later died at the Toronto General Hospital at the age of 70.[2]
