  • April 9: The original business district of Anderson Court House, South Carolina, is destroyed by fire. Engulfing an entire block from the Waverly House on the north to the Benson house on the south, the mostly wooden structures, as well as most of their contents, are destroyed. Lost are town records on file at the office of J. P. Reed, the current Intendent and founder of Anderson's first newspaper, The Highland Sentinel.
