James Turnbull in Painesville, Ohio - in the middle of 1872
from Reminiscences of a Stonemason, by a working man, page 135:
Curiosity led me to a place of worship one Sunday in Painesville.
I haven’t the slightest idea what denomination it was, but most of the audience were fanning themselves with five-cent fans. The organist played “Home, Sweet Home,” as an air for one of the hymns, and each time a verse was finished, indulged in a run on the chromatic scale for two octaves.
