Born in Leitersburg, Maryland, Lahm completed preparatory studies and then taught school. He attended Washington College in southwestern Pennsylvania. He subsequently studied law. Lahm was admitted to the bar in 1836 and commenced practice in Canton, Ohio.

He served as the master of chancery from 1837–41 and then was the prosecuting attorney of Stark County from 1841–45. He served as member of the Ohio Senate in 1842. He was selected as a delegate to the Democratic National Convention in 1844 in Baltimore, Maryland.

Lahm was appointed as a brigadier general in the state's antebellum militia.

He was an unsuccessful candidate for election in 1844 to the Twenty-ninth Congress. However, he was elected as a Democrat to the Thirtieth Congress and served from March 4, 1847 – March 3, 1849.

Retiring from politics, he engaged in agricultural pursuits and sheep raising.
