Westhampton is a small town, and its strength comes from the people who shape it. Jessie has long been a respected and prominent member of our community, and we are deeply grateful for the example she has set and the presence she continues to share with us.

This ceremony is a way for the town to publicly express its appreciation and celebrate Jessie Krug’s remarkable life and contributions.

In 1909, the publisher of the Boston Post newspaper, Mr. Edwin Grozier, issued a special cane to the Board of Selectmen in over 700 New England towns.  The canes were all made by J. F. Fradley and Co., a New York manufacturer.  They were crafted from ebony shipped from the Congo in Africa, which was cut to length, seasoned for six months, turned on lathes to the right thickness, coated and polished.  The canes had a 14-carat gold head, and a ferruled tip. 

The Westhampton Boston Post Cane was entrusted to The Board of Selectmen, who were to keep it always in the hands of the oldest citizen.  That person would hold the honor as long as they lived; upon their passing, the cane would be returned to the Town, to be awarded to the next oldest citizen.  

As is the case with many of the original canes, Westhampton’s original Boston Post Cane has been lost to time.  The cane that is given with this award is a replacement for the original, and has been in use since 1978.
