He was born in Peterborough, Canada West, the son of Elias Burnham and Ann Whitney.[1] Burnham was called to the Ontario bar in 1868 and practised law in Peterborough. In 1869, he married Ellen Eliza Cluxton. He ran unsuccessfully for a seat in the Manitoba assembly in 1879.[2] By 1881, he was practising law in Emerson, Manitoba.[1] His election in 1883 was overturned due to bribery and Burnham was defeated by Charles Douglas in the by-election that followed later that year.[3]
