"The story of the events leading up to the incorporation of the Borough of Ephrata in 1891, its incorporation, and the history of the borough's first fifteen years of existence. Included are the names of the petitioners, all Ephrata property owners, who signed the petition in favor of the town's incorporation in 1891, along with brief biographical sketches and portraits when available. The story of the town's early history documents the many challenges that faced the town's early elected officials, such as the development of an electrical plant, a public water plant, the construction of streets and sidewalks, and the enactment ofordinances that regulated day-to-day life in the town. The journal also includes biographies of the borough's burgesses and mayors from 1891 to the present, along with a list of the men and women who have served on Ephrata Borough Council through the years along with their term of office. Included in the list of mayors is a biography of Ephrata's only honorary mayor,Evelyn (Ay) Sempier, Miss America 1954." [from the publisher]
