Event date: Jun 5, 1862
For the first time during several years a night cry of “Fire!” resounded through our village, about 2 o’clock in the morning of Tuesday last. At that time fire was discovered in the attic of the stone building connected with and forming a part of the Revere House, an in a few minutes the flames succeeded the smoke in coming through the roof. The prompt arrival of the engines and the proximity of an abundant supply of water soon removed all damage of an extensive conflagration.
