I believe this rock is located along the river somewhat near Memorial Field. Scanned postcard.

James Roger diary entry
24th (Tuesday)
Very fine mild day quite spring like. Wind west. David ploughing ground for potatoes in incubator field and helping Royce to put up the poles alongside of sidewalk on our orchard ground. I fixed Hall for lecture tonight. Professor Chandler working in Selectmen’s press in town hall. From paper signed by President Jefferson Sept 23 1808. Mrs. Sampson called today with a parcel for the bairns at Ayer. Church at Miss. Taylor’s at 3pm. Deacon Chas Wheeler appointed delegate to receive the Davis bequest, also the Bushly legacy and Sawyer legacy. Got letters from Jim, Jimmie, and May. The lecture on Alaska was very interesting and the pictures were very good.
We used to debate what would happen and whether anyone dared to jump off that rock into Furnace Brook. There were no takers.
