Personal Notes:
Frank was born at Esk and was enrolled at Biarra School in October 1898 at the age of five, leaving in June 1906. In 1911 his father, James Francis, selected Taabinga Resumption land in the Kumbia area and soon afterwards sold it to Frank who named it 'Hillvue' which he later increased by further purchases. He was successful at dairying, cattle and pig raising and mixed farming.

In 1918 he and Ethel were married and they reared their family at 'Hillvue'. Frank was a member of the Kumbia Hall Committee from its inception in 1922 until 1955, having served as Vice-President in 1937-38 and President in 1951-52. In 1955 he leased his rural interests to a share farmer and moved to Kingaroy to live. Frank had been an active member of the Kumbia Race Club over a long period of time, the last ten years ofwhich he was Patron.

In 1944 he became a member of the Kingaroy Shire Council which he served until 1967. Initially he represented the Division that contained his property 'Hillvue', but in 1961 stood for election in the Division in which he then lived, and his success was acclaimed as unprecedented.

He sold out his rural interests in 1969. His wife, Ethel, who predeceased him, supported him in family, business and district activities and was a very active member of the Queensland Country Womens' Association, having been Vice-President ofthe South Burnett District. Her efforts through this organisation contributed towards the establishment of a Maternal and Child Welfare Centre at Kumbia, a Waiting Mothers Hostel at Kingaroy, and the instituting of holidays for country children at the seaside resort of Hervey Bay.
