Perham Ladies Seeking Eldest Community Member

Fort Fairfield Journal, February 6, 2013

PERHAM, Maine—The Perham Ladies are searching for information on who might be the eldest community member in Perham. The successful candidate will be honored with a presentation of the Perham Cane at a supper to be held sometime in March. "Sadly we lost our first Perham Cane holder, Mr. Henry Nutting on February 12, 2012 at the age of 95," said Deb Viola, a current member of the Perham Ladies. "It has been nearly a year since our community lost Henry and we still keenly feel the loss of both him and his wife Ethel, who predeceased him. They were valued members of our town, pillars of the Perham community and our group was honored to have Henry be the first ever recipient of the Perham cane, which was made by the Viola boys and master carver, Tom Cote from Limestone.

Those with information on who may be the eldest in Perham, either male or female, are encouraged to contact Viola at 498-3433 or Ellie Snyder, 455-8016 or any one of the Perham Ladies if you have information to share. “We will need an exact birth date, year included. The hope is we will present the cane at a supper held in honor of the recipient and their family. It is a very special evening and we need your help to make this happen,” said Viola.

The Perham Ladies also send out get well cards and cards of condolence. If you know of someone who is unwell or in mourning and needs to know they are being thought of, please contact any of the ladies or specifically Mrs. Sylvia Wardwell, who has graciously taken over the task of writing and sending the cards after the loss of our Viola Helstrom who sent out the cards for many years.
