MARVIN H. SANGER, Representative for Canterbury, Windham County:

Of Canterbury, has been before the public in one and another official capacity since 1857, and at a still earlier date filled important local offices with the same fidelity that characterized his administration of trusts conferred by the State. In the year named he was chosen to represent Canterbury in the Legislature, and again in 1860. In 1873 he was elected Secretary of State, and was re-elected to that office in each of the three succeeding years, and left it with a record for executive ability and wise and prudent management. He is a representative Democrat of the progressive type, and is influential in the councils of his party in something more than a local sense. Born in Brooklyn, on April 12, 1827, he is not yet fifty-five years of age, and is engaged in merchandising and farming. In 1852 he was elected Town Clerk and Treasurer of Canterbury, and held the former office continuously until 1864, and still holds the latter, together with those of Judge of Probate and Justice of the Peace.
