Was another of the old-time preachers of White County. He lived in Seven-mile Prairie. His labors were contemporaneous with those of Moses Goodwin. While he always resided on his farm, he was a man of some culture. He was a pleasing and inspiring speaker. A man who had been reared a Methodist heard Mr. Lumm preach one day. At the close of the sermon, with tears streaming down his cheeks, he turned to the man who sat next to him and said "That is the first Methodist sermon I ever heard in my life." Jonas Lumm, of Grayville, who was also an old-time preacher, was Fenton's brother.
