Baker Memorial Methodist Episcopal Church holds its first service.

(May) The church is located at the corner of Columbia Road and Cushing Avenue. Its construction was supported by a bequest in 1866 from Sarah Baker, a member of the First Methodist Episcopal Church near Lower Mills, provided that the new church is built within three-fourths of a mile from her Savin Hill home. The site chosen was subsequently found to be 19 feet beyond that distance, but a court decision allowed them to use the funds nevertheless.
