New Ipswich Historical Society
When they state that Antti Antilla was the first of the Finns to arrive “in this section,” I wonder if they mean a certain area of the Town itself or the first in all of New Ipswich.
This is the first I've heard of about the cane. What happened to it?
It is in a case at the Historical Society, The Selectmen are supposed to give it to the oldest citizen. My Mom has one (replica). https://poltrack.net/2020/07/25/boston-post-cane-recipient-betty-poltrack/
You're lucky to have a mom for so long a time, and a good looking one at that.
