InfoSenator Frink
J.M. Frink is a native of Luzerne County, Pennsylvania, and was born January 21, 1855. His parents moved to Kansas in 1859, and in 1861 the head of the household died. J.M. Frink, being the eldest son, took upon himself the responsibility of caring for the farm, and he did it well. Mr. Frink lived in Kansas until 1874, when he came to California, and thence to Seattle in the fall of the same year. He was employed as a school teacher in the city schools. He taught there and at Port Gamble for four years. In 1880 he formed a partnership with Mr. Tenny in the foundry business, and in the following yera added a machine shop to the plant. The next year brought the incorporation of the Washington Iron Works, of which Mr. Frink is still president and manager. He is a large property holder and a director of the Seattle Savings Bank. He served as a member of the School Board for five years and in the City Council two years.
