Rufus Lumry was an American circuit preacher and outspoken abolitionist. Ordained as an elder in the Methodist Episcopal Church, then riven by conflict over slavery, Lumry was arraigned before its 1842 Illinois Annual Conference at Chicago for anti-slavery agitation, from which he was asked to desist. He replied that no man or group of men would put a padlock on his lips, and became a leading Illinois organizer of the new, staunchly abolitionist Wesleyan Methodist Church. Lumry unsuccessfully ran for the Illinois General Assembly on the abolitionist Liberty Party ticket in 1844 and helped found Wheaton College and its predecessor, the Illinois Institute in the 1850s and beginning of the 1860s–as well as the former Amity College in College Springs, Iowa. Lumry was a coworker with fellow abolitionists Ichabod Codding and Zebina Eastman. Of him, Owen Lovejoy said, "Lumry is a sharp thrashing instrument, having teeth wherewith the Lord thrasheth slavery."
