	As a boy, Sanford came to Dubuque when the village population was only five hundred. Earning $50.00 per month as a clerk for several merchants, Sanford bought a lot on Bluff Street and began loaning money at the established rate of 25 percent interest, a rate somewhat lower than that generally charged in new [[MINING]] towns. By 1850 his attention was given entirely to his land agency and loaning money. He moved his business from a second-story back room in the [[J. CHRISTMAN AND SON]] hardware store on Main below Fourth Street to the corner of Fourth and Main.		As a boy, Sanford came to Dubuque when the village population was only five hundred.

	Although Sanford purchased the Sanford Block in 1856, he made most of his purchases of city property ~~between~~ 1854 and 1855. By then most of the public land in eastern Iowa was sold.

	Sanford was one of the organizers of the [[DUBUQUE AND PACIFIC RAILROAD]]. He withdrew due to the speculative nature of the business and invested his money in government bonds and securities.

			During his life, Sanford boarded at the [[LORIMIER HOUSE]] and often had his meals brought to his room. He was fond of remembering his hometown. He had a Congregational church built and then donated it to the congregation in memory of his parents. In his will, Sanford left all of his Dubuque property to his brother in Sherburne, New York.
