Miss Elmira's Secret Treasure: A Novel of Phoenixville from 1859 to 1916 and Beyond... (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781700334077)

Elmira Wells Pennypacker served as Phoenixville's first Library Director from 1898 until her untimely death in 1916. She is also reputed to be one of five of the Library's resident ghosts. The sixth in the historical Novel of Phoenixville series by June J. McInerney, this is a delightful light-hearted mystery that, through Elmira's journal and the search for her messenger quilt, encompasses a few salient moments of Phoenixville's history. Elmira's stories of her lives - past as well as present - are fascinating, informative glimpses of growing up and living in the Borough from 1959 to 1916, the historical significance of her secret treasure, and her role in the history of the Phoenixville Public Library where Miss Elmira is now and forevermore the self-appointed spiritual caretaker.
