Charlotte E. Frost: Boston Post Cane Recipient

The Town of Gray’s Boston Post Cane was presented to the oldest resident, Charlotte Frost, at a brief ceremony on Thursday, February 23.   

There were about thirty family and friends in attendance.
Charlotte is the first woman in Gray to be awarded the Boston Post Cane.  She is turning 97 this month and has lived at her current address in Gray since she was three years old.  She was nominated by her granddaughter, Sandy Foster.

Only one or two local men have been awarded the town’s Boston Post Cane and the last time the town presented it was close to 100 years ago.  Gray’s original cane is believed to have been burned in a fire in the 1920s; the Town purchased a replica last year in conjunction with reviving this New England tradition.
