Carnes Insurance Agency

05/01/2026

Our Barnesville office will be closed on Monday, May 4th, as we attend the funeral of James “Jim” E. Carnes, the father of our owner, Scott Carnes. Our Bridgeport office and phones will still be open.

As a family-run agency, Jim’s passing affects all of us deeply. We will be taking this time to gather with family, honor his life, and pray together.

Jim was a devoted husband, father, Christian, and public servant who dedicated his life to the betterment of others. We are deeply saddened by his passing and grateful for the legacy he leaves behind.

Thank you for your understanding during this difficult time.

We’re more than an insurance agency, we’re family.

Since 1954, our family-owned, multi-generational agency has been honored to serve the Ohio Valley. For over 70 years, we’ve built our business on faith, integrity, and a commitment to doing what’s right. God is at the center of all we do, and we believe caring for people goes far beyond policies and paperwork.

At the heart of this mission is our incredible team. Our employees are not just staff, they are family. Their dedication, compassion, and commitment to serving others are what allow our values to come to life every single day. We are deeply grateful for the people who have chosen to be part of this legacy and who carry it forward with care and excellence.

To our community, thank you for trusting us with what matters most. It is truly a privilege to serve you, your families, and future generations, just as we have for the last 70 years, and just as we will for many more years to come.
