His parents were living at the junction of the Brunswick and Collie Rivers at his birth. They later moved to Hampden further down the coast, where in 1949, Mr Clarke Senior owned and operated the Hampden Inn. Mr Clarke Senior was appointed as overseer for the Bunbury convict Depot in 1852, and in 1856, he purchased 10 acres of land on the banks of the Harvey River. In 1859, when Ephraim was 18 years old, the family moved to this property and lived in a cottage built by Mr Clarke (reference; reference; reference).
Ephraim Junior worked both his father's farm and his own holding in Harvey before moving to Bunbury in 1874 to open a store (reference; reference).
Soon after Ephraim moved to Bunbury, he opened a general store operating from rented rooms in Koombana House in Victoria Street. In 1880 he purchased property on the corner of Victoria and Stirling Streets, moving his business to the new premises (reference). In 1884 he bought neighbouring land and, at what is now 30 Stirling Street, built a home, stable and substantial business premises named Colonial House, which included a large shop. This shop became one of the main emporiums in Bunbury (reference; reference; reference). He was also exporting kangaroo skins in 1888 (reference).
Around 1905, his son Charles opened another store on the corner of Victoria and Stephen Streets called Clarke's Corner, which sold soft furnishings, manchester and clothes while E. M. Clarke became a grocery store, and they advertised together as branches of the one business (reference, reference). In 1910, Clarke's Corner was sold by 1913 to Harry Trenoweth, who opened a Bon Marché franchise (reference; reference). The Clarkes then amalgamated in Stirling Street as Clarke's Stores which was still in business at Ephraim's death in 1921 (reference).
Mr Clarke was on the board of several companies in Bunbury. These included the Bunbury Jarrah Timber Company; Bunbury Tin Mining Company; Mineral Prospecting Machinery Company; Collie Commercial Coal Company; and the Bunbury Butter Factory (reference; reference; reference; reference; reference).
Mr Clark established orange trees at Jardup. The oranges produced there were described in 1889 by the Southern Times as "without doubt, fine specimens of fruit, fit for Covent Garden Market, London, and should command a ready sale." (reference).
Mr Clarke also co-owned Kookolup Swamp with Dr James Meehan (reference). This swamp was one and a half miles out of Bunbury on Vasse Road and was part of Big Swamp (reference; reference). They began draining land around the swamp in 1888 and organised for the access road to be surveyed (reference). In 1891, they had the land cleared for ₤30 per acre, and Mr Clark planted seven acres of fruit trees and fourteen acres of vines (reference). Two years later, in 1993, Ephraim was involved in forming the Wellington Fruit and Vine Growers Association and became the first President (reference). At the same time, Mr L. L. Cowan visited Bunbury. He was an expert in viticulture and fruit growing who the West Australian employed to report on the progress of the fruit growing industry around the state. Speaking at the association's inaugural meeting, Mr Cowan praised Mr Clarke's efforts, saying, "I saw the new state of this industry in Mr E. M Clarke's vineyard. He has not hesitated to spend pounds upon pounds upon developing his property, but when he told me that these trees had only been planted two years I was astonished and compelled to admit that during the whole of my experience I had never seen such tremendous growth even when the trees had the advantage of irrigation. Of course I do not wish to appear to doubt Mr. Clarke's veracity but the growth is really most surprising." (reference; reference). Shortly after he visited Bunbury, Mr Cowan wrote in his report published in the West Australian that Mr Clarke's property was "the piece de resistance" of the Bunbury area. He also included the following description of Mr Clark: "Mr. Clarke himself has no spare flesh about him but a lot of spare energy. He is thin and wiry and lively, and he has a good head and a keen bright eye, and he knows enough to go indoors when it rains, and he can talk quite as much sense as most men in a given time, and he has a lot of "git up" and go about him, and altogether is most like one of those "infernal and eternal Yankees" who are forever moving ahead of everyone else, and won't let people go to sleep. Mr. Clarke's faith is "The simple creed for word or deed. Be sure you're right then go ahead."
In one of the early meetings of the Wellington Fruit and Vine Growers Association, Mr Clarke presented a paper that he had written on various aspects of viticulture (reference). The full article was printed in the Western Mail and the West Australian (reference; reference). He also lobbied the government for a Bureau of Agriculture (reference).

Mr Clarke was often called a juror by the local court, and in 1894, he was appointed as a Justice of the Peace along with Mr George Rich and Mr James Moore. Mr Clarke was the only one of the three singled out by the Bunbury Herald as being worthy of the honour: "The selection of Mr. E. M. Clarke for the honor was an acknowledgment of that gentleman's sterling character, and a recognition of his past public services and the estimation he is held by all classes of the community." (reference)
In 1901, Mr Clarke stood for election to the State Senate in the southwest province and won a decisive victory over Mr Tom Malloy. He served in that position for 19 years until his death, consistently winning elections with ease.
