James Roger diary entry
28th May 1912
Warm and windy; wind west and variable. David cutting Preston lawn and odd jobs in Cemetery. I cut and trimmed lots; got flowers for Hubbard lot from Ayer.
Our game on the way to the ball fields and town pool was to climb the wall and walk its length, inching around trees until hopping down at the end of the wall.
