This event destroyed the 800 page manuscript of land speculator Gurdon Saltonstall Hubbard. It's not a shipwreck, but it was responsible for financially devastating Horatio Spafford, the author of the hymn "It Is Well with My Soul."An Egon Weiner bronze sculpture can be found at the likely starting point for this event. Louis Cohn possibly initiated it during a night of gambling, while Richard Bales theorized this event was caused by Daniel "Pegleg" Sullivan during a botched attempt at stealing milk. This event, which began at 137 DeKoven Street, destroyed the church of Dwight Moody. On the same day, a similar event to the north devastated Peshtigo, Wisconsin, killing even more people. Legendarily, this event began when Mrs. O'Leary's cow knocked over a lantern. For 10 points, name this October 1871 event in which a major Illinois city suffered a conflagration.
