Boston Post Cane
Boston Post Cane
The Boston Post Cane is a long-standing New England tradition that recognizes the oldest living resident of a town. The tradition began in 1909, when the Boston Post newspaper distributed decorative canes to participating communities to be presented to their oldest living residents as a symbol of honor and recognition.
The Town of Hermon is proud to recognize its oldest living resident through this special tradition, celebrating the history, experiences, and contributions of our longtime community members.
The Current Boston Post Cane Recipient
The Town of Hermon is pleased to recognize Elizabeth “Betty Jane” Sandberg (98) as the newest recipient of the Town’s Boston Post Cane. The Town of Hermon congratulates Betty Jane on this wonderful distinction and wishes her continued happiness and many more years as part of our community.
Pictured above with Mrs. Elizabeth “Betty Jane” Sandberg is (L to R) June Sandberg, daughter in law, Betty Jane, Craig Sandberg (son). Check out her dedication piece here.
Do you know an individual who may qualify for the honor of holding the cane?
