Boston Post Cane



The Boston Post Cane
A Century ago the concept of honoring The Oldest Citizen in New England Towns with a beautifully engraved walking cane was created by the Boston Post Newspaper. The Cane that was given in Watertown disappeared soon after the first honoree was so honored. The whereabouts of the Watertown Cane was a mystery until this past year. Due to the charity and dogged determination to recover it by Charlie Morash and friends the Cane has returned to Watertown.

The Historical Society of Watertown,

Caretakers of the Cane, will once again honor the Oldest Citizen in Watertown. To preserve the original Watertown Boston Post Cane on display at the Edmund Fowle House Museum, replicas have been crafted.

A replica cane will be presented to:
Adeline DiIorio

The Oldest Female Citizen of Watertown
On Sunday September 27, 2009
Time: 1:00 PM
Location: Wingate at Needham Rehab & Skilled Nursing
589 Highland Ave, Needham


Please come and celebrate with one of Watertown’s Oldest Citizens and take this opportunity to meet her and learn her secret to longevity.
