| Notes |
- Frank graduated from St. John's College in 1885. He was a member of its first football team. He started law school in Baltimore, but when his father suffered a stroke, he gave up law and returned home to manage the store. When his father died in 1896, Frank took over the store and ran it until he sold it in May 1929.
In 1909, Frank was elected to the City Council. In 1912, he became a Judge of the Orphans' Court of Anne Arundel County. In 1935, he was appointed by the Governor to be a member of the County Board of Educatation, and served as its president for 15 years being reappointed by Democratic and Republican governors every four years. Frank was always a Republican and was elected Clerk of the Court in 1934 for four years. In 1946, at the age of 80, he was elected County Commissioner by a huge majority.
Frank was one of the organizers of the Annapolis Volunteer Fire Department and continued to answer fire calls until at least 1914.
He was a member of the Severn River Boat Club (later renamed the Annapolis Yacht Club). He rowed sculls as a young man. He was a Mason for over 50 years, a member of the South River club and the Annapolitan Club. He served as Junior Warden of St. Anne's Church for 40 years. While he was President of the Board of Education, he attended every graduation ceremony in the County, and kissed every girl graduate.
Frank married the daughter of John Wilson and Matilda (Davidson) Inglehart. It is not known why her surname is Hall. Perhaps she was previously married.
