| Notes |
- Frank was born at ` The Georges ' on 10 June 1870 the son of Joseph Wyeth and Phoebe Sunnex. He was baptised, on 28 July 1870, at St John's Anglican church Trentham.
When Frank was about 13 years old he got a beating from his mother and took off. He was not seen for some years until he turned up with a shipment of race horses from Australia. It transpired that after his disagreement with his mother he had gone to the race course at Trentham where joined up with an Australian Racehorse Owner and had returned to Australia with him.
He stayed in New Zealand after this. Frank was very successful as a Harrier. The financial rewards from his running contributed considerably to his ability to purchase his farm a Pongaroa. Frank was also a very accomplished violinist and played at many wedding and other functions in the area.
When his brother Herbert was killed in April 1935 Frank payed for the Funeral.
It was only a few months after Herbert's death that Frank died himself. Frank had an arrangement whereby his groceries were delivered to the farm gate and he would collect them. The carrier delivering the groceries found that last weeks were still there. He went back to town and told the police who found his body up the back of the farm where he had died. Frank had been due to play at a wedding the previous Saturday but hadn't turned up.
Frank was not included in his mothers will when she died in 1902.
Frank did not marry.
