Early life[]
He is the first child of Mr. Weston, formerly known as Captain Weston, and his first wife, Mrs. Weston of the Churchill family. His mother died three years after her marriage to Captain Weston, so Frank never really knew her. His uncle, Mr. Churchill, had no children and was interested in taking Frank in and giving him a life of promise as a member of the wealthy Churchill family.

Adulthood[]
He entered into a secret engagement with Jane Fairfax after their meeting at Weymouth, and went to great lengths to keep it hidden.

Frank E. Churchill was born in Maine and studied medicine at the University of California. He gave up his studies to become a theater pianist until he joined the Walt Disney organization as a composer in 1930, eventually replacing Carl Stalling as music director. In an interview with Disney film director Wilfred Jackson, conducted by David Johnson in 1988, Churchill is remembered as an accomplished pianist with an interest in classical music and a composer who was naturally talented and adaptable. He’s also fondly remembered as an easy-going prankster.
