Augustus Hannibal Burbank (January 24, 1823 – June 27, 1895)[1] was a 19th-century American physician. He was also treasurer of Yarmouth Aqueduct Company and an early president of North Yarmouth Academy.
Burbank was born in Poland, Maine, in 1823, the only son of physician Eleazer Burbank and Sophronia Ricker.[2][3]

Career
Upon graduating, Burbank returned to Yarmouth, Maine, and entered general practice.[2]
He was an early president of North Yarmouth Academy while Charles Chesley Springer was its principal. The two became close friends, which resulted in their families sharing the same burial plot.[2] He was also a treasurer of Yarmouth Aqueduct Company.[5]
