During that time he had worn out 5 motorcycles and had put Mount Joy on the map as a town that wasn’t very healthy for speeding cars. Mr. Zerphey always believed in giving the speeder a little leeway, but if he got over that,--bing, he got nabbed. Mr. Zerphey became Burgess of Mount Joy while serving in the sheriff's Office. He was appointed to fill out an unexpired team and had no intentions of running again when his term expired. But, some- body wrote in his name and he got the nomination any- way. He attempted to stop this by not paying the filing fee, but somebody else put up the fee and he got elected again whether he wanted it or not. He served approxi- mately 2 years and then resigned because he was in Lancaster all day and felt it was not fair to the people to have a part-time Burgess. In 1953 he returned to full time employment in Mount Joy as its Postmaster. During that time Florin was annexed to Mount Joy and the Florin post office was abolished. For a while a finance station was kept at the Florin post office. He resigned as Postmaster in early 1969. In addition to the above, Mr. Zerphey was a member of the fire company since 1928, and served as its President on 4 different occasions. He served as President of Mount Joy Borough Council on 3 occa- sions. He was President of the Eberly Cemetery Com- mittee for 3S years and was Mayor of Mount Joy on 2 different occasions. He was a charter member and Treasurer of the Mount Joy Sportsmen Association, and at one time served as a game warden. He is a member of the Mount Joy Leisure Club and belonged to the Lancaster County Fireman’s Association. Moreover, Mr. Zerphey demonstrated his athletic prowess as a quarterback for a Mount Joy football team for 8 years. One can clearly remember as a little boy in Mount Joy that on frequent occasions I would hear from adults, ‘You better behave, here comes Elmer’ at which time Mr. Zerphey would come down the street on his motorcycle.” DANIEL M. WOLGEMUTH “Daniel M. Wolgemuth was born and raised on a farm midway between Mount Joy and Marietta and across from Donegal Mill along the Donegal Creek. He graduated from May- SUSQUEHANNA TIMES - Page 15 town High School in April 1912 and worked in the Maytown National Bank for approximately 1 year during the year 1913 and 1914. He left home in the fall of 1915 to go to college where he learned bookkeeping, typ- ing, and shorthand. In the Spring of 1916, he accepted a job in the Grant- ham National Bank, Grant- ham, PA where he became cashier for a short time. He then resigned and worked in the Allison Hill Trust Com- pany, Harrisburg, PA and then went to the First National Bank and Trust Cornpany of Mount Joy where he worked until November 1, 1919. In 1919 with the help of his father, he purchased J.N Hershey & Son Feed Mill in Florin, PA. He has been in the feed business since that time for a period of over 56 years. The business is now known as Wolgemuth Bros., Inc. In about 1920, he helped organize the Florin Trust Company and became a director of that bank. Around 1927 due to excess loans to a local industry which failed, the Florin Trust Company closed and he served as chairman of the liquidating committee. in 1928, he was elected to East Donegal Township School Board where he served for one term of S years. During that time the East Donegal High School building in Maytown was constructed around 1931. He also helped to sponsor the building of the Wash- ington Schoolhouse in Florin PA which is now the administrative offices of Donegal School District. In 1938 he became a director of the First National Bank and Trust Company of Mount Joy where he played a part in the merger of that bank with the Lancaster County National Bank and thereafter became chairman of the advisory board of the Mount Joy branch of the Lancaster County National Bank until his retirement in 1968. As you all know by a series of subsequent mer- gers, the Lancaster County National Bank became the Lancaster County Farmers National Bank and then became the National Central Bank. Mr. Wolgemuth also served as a director of the merged banks from about 1964 to 1967. Mr. Wolgemuth also served as a member of the Mount Joy Borough Author- ity from 1964 to 1967. During that time the Florin Sewer System was con- structed and the Florin Water Company was pur- chased. He also helped to sponsor the annexation of Florin to Mount Joy which took approximately 10 years to accomplish (from 1953 to 1963). One of his greatest accomplishments in service to the community occured when he was a member of the Donegal Union School Authority from 1952 to approximately 1962, and served as its chairman for a substantial portion of that time. During that time the school systems of Mount Joy Borough, Marietta Borough and East Donegal Township were consolidated and the Donegal Union High Schoel Building was constructed to accomodate the consolidat- ed districts. During his time of service, Seiler Element- ary School building, Grand- view Elementary School building and the annex to the former Mount Joy High Scheol building and the cafeteria annex of the May- town Elementary School building were also con- structed.
