CONWAY — Town officials are asking for help in identifying Conway’s oldest living resident so they can present him or her with the Boston Post Cane.

In January of 2017, Flossie Blake, then 107 and a resident at Mineral Springs, received the cane from Selectmen John Colbath and Mary Carey Seavey, then Town Manager Earl Sires and Ken Rancourt, head of the historical society. Blake died in 2019.
