Boston Post Cane nominations reminder

Town Clerk Laurie Nordfors will accept nominations to receive the town’s Boston Post Cane through Sept. 30.

The town will present the cane to the town’s oldest resident. “The person must have lived in the town of Gorham for a minimum of the most recent 10-year period and must be willing to receive the honor,” a town posting said.

The tradition began in 1909 when the publisher of the Boston Post newspaper sent a gold-headed ebony cane to 700 towns in New England to be given to each town’s oldest resident.

For more information or to submit a nominee, call the Town Clerk’s Office at 222-1670 or visit gorhammaine.gov.
