Frank B. Hanna was born in New Jersey in 1894. He married Rachel Thomason around 1914, and they had a daughter, Elizabeth, the following year. By January 1920, the Hannas were residing at 5315 Locust Street in Philadelphia. At the age of 25, Frank had already become Chief Clerk at one of the shipyards in the Camden-Philadelphia area. Shortly thereafter, the family returned to Camden, where Frank began his involvement in local politics.

As a Republican, Frank B. Hanna was appointed superintendent of streets for Camden on July 12, 1927. In 1929, he joined Camden's Board of Commissioners following the resignation of William D. Sayrs due to illness. During the 1930 Census, the Hannas lived at 549 Haddon Avenue in Camden, but by 1933, they had moved to 450 Carteret Street. By the fall of 1935, Frank was elected Surrogate for Camden County.
