A history of the Boston Post Cane, a New England tradition
Adam Sennott

In 1909 the now defunct Boston Post newspaper distributed painstakingly designed walking canes to 700 New England towns. The canes, made of ebony—imported from Africa and crowned with 14-karat gold—were then presented in varying measures of ceremonial pomp, to the oldest living male of those municipalities.
Since then, for over a century, the canes have been handed down to the next oldest survivor in those towns, in what has become a venerable Yankee tradition. Women were added to the list of cane recipients starting in 1930.

“The idea was to be given by the city to its oldest resident, as a sign of respect, with the help of the Post,” said Emmanuel Paraschos, professor of journalism at Emerson College and author of the Boston chapter of Sage’s Encyclopedia of journalism and The Boston Journalism Trail.
Back then longevity itself was a newsworthy topic. Because of poor nutrition and viral epidemics that wiped out large numbers of people from time to time, the life expectancy of men in 1900 was 49.7 years and 50.9 years for women, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
