Laurie was a Scottish carpenter who made his "lazy Susan" to the personal specifications of a Hingham-area woman. Unfortunately he presented this gift to her too late, which caused her to unleash an abusive tirade upon Laurie. When she finally asked him for the price, he "told her it wasn't for sale, though of course it is". The name was repeated in a 1911 "Idaho Statesman" article which describes it as "a cousin to the 'curate's assistant', as the English muffin stand is called" and again in the 1912 "Christian Science Monitor", which calls the "silver" lazy Susan "the characteristic feature of the self-serving dinner table". By the next year, the "Lima Daily News" described an Ohioan "inaugurat... the 'Lazy Susan' method of serving". Henry Ford used an enormous one on his camping trips in the 1920s to avoid bringing a full contingent of servants along with his guests. In 1933, the term was added to the Webster's Dictionary.
