From the book History of Walworth County Wisconsin, by Albert Clayton

ARTHUR LOOMIS SANBORN (Ebenezer Simpson8, 7, John6, Ebenezer5, Enock4, John3, 
2, 1), son of Ebenezer Simpson SANBORN and Harriet BLOUNT, was born at Brasher 
Falls, St. Lawrence county, New York, November 17, 1850.  His father died in 
1862, leaving two bright boys to be led to honorable and useful manhood by 
their mother - one of the best and most capable of women.  The family had 
lived some years as Lake Geneva.  Mr. NOYES gave Arthur a clerkship in the 
office of register of deeds, and the mother and sons made their home at 
Elkhorn.  In 1875 the clerk became chief, and his spare hours were given to 
thorough study of the law.  In 1879 he was admitted to practice, and at the 
close of his term of office he went to Madison, to take a subordinate place in 
the office at GREGORY & PINNEY.  A dissolution and recomposition of 
partnerships made the new firm of PINNEY & SANBORN.  He was later a partner of 
John S. SPOONER and others.  Another firm, BERRYMAN & SANBORN became widely 
known as annotators of the Revised Statues, and a younger SANBORN is still 
engaged in that work.  The death of Judge Romanzo BUNN made a place for Mr. 
SANBORN in 1905 on the federal bench of western Wisconsin.  Judge SANBORN, 
while struggling at Elkhorn, married Alice Elizabeth, daughter of Isaac GOLDER 
and Sarah MERRITT, and has three sons and a daughter.
