Frank French was born 22 May 1850 in Loudon New Hampshire, son and youngest of ten children of Hiram & Lydia Walcot (Bachelder) French. When he was age 14, his parents died, which led to the sale of the family farm and to him and his siblings being left on their own. From the time he was young, he had been interested in art, and finding encouragement from an older sister, planned to become a portraitist.
He attended school in Laconia, New Hampshire and took odd jobs (showing 500 of 3878 characters). |
