Dora Sandoe Bachman was the first woman to graduate from a law school in Ohio, and the seventh woman admitted to the bar of this state. The firm of Bachman and Bachman was formed at the same time as his marriage to Miss Dora Sandoe in 1894, Mrs. Bachman having received her degree of LL. B. from Ohio State University the previous year. Mrs. Bachman was born at Tiffin, Ohio, but received most of her girlhood schooling at and near Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. She returned to Ohio to attend Ada Normal School and after teaching in Pennsylvania came to Columbus to attend Ohio State University. Mrs. Bachman was widely known in suffrage work and held offices in city, county and state organizations. In 1912 she was a representative at the Women's Suffrage Congress at Washington, District of Columbia. She was elected to the Columbus School Board in 1908 on an independent ticket, where she served for eight years. She was the first woman to be chosen to that body and the first woman to hold the office of president of that organization. Mrs. Bachman held various offices in the League of Women Voters and was honored in 1929 by being made a life member of the National Parent-Teachers Association. During the World War Mrs. Bachman was in complete charge of the Social Hygiene work in the Columbus district. She was recognized as an expert in legal matters of a domestic nature and was a candidate in 1928 for judge of the Court of Domestic Relations. In her connections with the Agricultural Extension Department of Ohio State University, she was a frequent speaker on the department's programs. She was a member of Kappa Beta Phi sorority and The Altrurian Club. After her husband's death, Mrs. Bachman carried on the firm of Bachman & Bachman alone until June of 1929 when their son, Robert E. Bachman, was admitted to the bar and joined her. She continued as senior member of the firm until her death in 1930. Young Mr. Bachman is still continuing in the firm name. Another son, Richard Sandoe Bachman, born April 25, 1912, survives, and is at the present time attending Ohio State University. He is a graduate of North High School. Mr. Robert E. Bachman was married in 1929 to Miss Gale Mary Roof, daughter of Charles and Cora (Gale) Roof. Mrs. Bachman is a granddaughter of the Hon. John T. Gale, a sketch of whom appears in this history. Mr. Bachman is a member of the Young Lawyers Club and Gamma Eta Gamma fraternity. He is a graduate of East High School and received the degree of Bachelor of Arts from Ohio State University in 1926, and his law degree from the same school in 1929.

The following was found on the internet "The Law Student's Helper, Vol. 1, No. 6, p. 140, June 1893"

DORA O. SANDOE - Miss Sandoe is a native of Ohio, having been born in the city of Tiffin, October 6, 1869.  Her father was a preacher.  After leaving the public schools, she took a two years' course in the Collegiate Institute at Pleasantville, Ohio, followed by one year at Curry University, Pittsburgh.  Her education was chiefly in normal work.  She taught school one year in Butler County, Pennsylvania, and three in Mt. Carmel, Pennsylvania.  She received one term of schooling at Ada, Ohio, and is a graduate of Indianapolis School of Elocution.  She says she can not remember the time when she did not cherish an ambition of some day entering the profession of the law; and, after many obstacles had been overcome, began reading law privately, in the winter of '90-'91 and entered the State University at Columbus, Ohio in October 1891.  She has been admitted to the bar and has already made her first appearance in court.  Her intention, as expressed, is first to gain the experience incidental to a general practice, and then gradually devote herself to that branch of the law, which attracts her most.  THE COLLECTOR has had some difficulty in prevailing upon Miss Sandoe to furnish her portrait, which the readers of the THE COLLECTOR have the pleasure of looking upon, inasmuch as she, to use her own words, "disapproves of the Lydia Pinkham manner of advertising."   (According to the photo she was quite lovely.)
