John M. Frink (1845-1914) was born in Montrose, Pennsylvania, descended from Norman French Huguenots. He studied at Washburn College in Kansas. At 21, he began teaching school. In 1874, he left Kansas for Seattle. There, he worked as a coal bunker, carpenter, school teacher, and principal, before entering into business with L.H. Tenney. With Tenney he formed the Washington Iron Works. He was married twice, first to Hannah Phillips, who died in 1875, and then to Abbie Hawkins. He had five children, two of whom (Gerald, then Francis) took over as president of the iron works in succession.
