T. Frank Boardman was born Thomas Franklin Boardman in Camden in July of 1856 to Thomas Boardman and his wife, the former Mary Edwards. The Boardmans were living in Camden's Middle Ward when the census was taken in 1850, Thomas Boardman working as a carriage maker to support his family. By the time the census was taken in 1850, Thomas Boardman had passed, leaving his wife to take care of a large family. Besides Frank, there were older siblings Alexander, Josiah, Oscar, and Caroline Boardman. The family was still living in the Middle Ward at the time of the 1860 Census and the 1870 Census.

T. Frank Boardman was working in a stationary store when the census was taken in 1870. When he was appointed to the Fire Department in July of 1875, he was living at 436 Arch Street. Frank Boardman married Adalaide Page around 1875. From this marriage came two children, Oscar, born in October of 1875, and Elsie, who came in December of 1886.

When the 1878 City Directory was compiled, T. Frank and Addie Boardman were living at 614 Walnut Street. This would remain his home for the rest of his days. His in-laws, John W. and Rachel Page lived next door at 616 Walnut Street. T. Frank Boardman was then working as a clerk in a real estate office. In 1883 he was working as a clerk for James M. Cassady.

When he was associated with the Fire Department, T. Frank Boardman was known simply as Frank Boardman. In the early 1880s, he begins to appear in City Directories as T. Frank Boardman and as Thomas F. Boardman.

In time, T. Frank Boardman went into real estate for himself, and did well. He had an office at 128 Federal Street in the mid 1890s, then opened a real estate agency at 810 Broadway in 1898, moving to 822 Broadway in 1899. He was elected Justice of the Peace around 1899. He kept the office open at 822 Broadway as late as 1914. He was still working, although he did not keep a public office, when the 1918-1919 City Directory was compiled.

Thomas Franklin Boardman passed away on January 10, 1919. He was buried at Evergreen Cemetery in Camden.
