«eo. 2 honored
by Rotary
[continued from page 1]
until 1948 when he resigned
to take a position as Deputy
Sheriff of Lancaster County.
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.
