SANFORD M. BURNHAM, who represents Summit county, was born January 23, 1824, in Covington, Genessee county,
New York. He was engaged in farming until he was twenty years of age, when he began teaching. He followed this
profession until he was twenty five years old.
In the spring of 1848 he removed to Ohio, settling in Akron, Summit county. In November of the same year (1848)
he was united in marriage to Miss Anne M. Rowe, of Akron, Ohio.
His occupation was that of accountant and salesman until the year 1862, when he was elected County Auditor of Summit
county, Ohio. He was re-elected in 1864, in 1866 and in 1868.
He is a member of the Universalist Church, and has been for the past thirty one years.
He was elected to represent his county in the House in 1871. James Williams, State Auditor, says: "Mr. Barnham
was unusually efficient and accurate, as County Auditor, and rather an exception among the County Auditors of the
State."
