"A lecture by Diocletian Lewis on December 23, 1873 inspired Eliza Thompson (Eliza Jane Trimble Thompson; 1816-1905), daughter of Governor Allen Trimble, to begin leading groups of women into saloons where they sang hymns and prayed for the closure of the establishments. These direct, non-violent \u201CVisitation Bands\u201D were successful and quickly spread first across the state of Ohio and then to a total of 22 other states from New York to California. Dr."@en .
