I don't have the time to find "verifiable" info on this, but Milton Hershey did not build the Penn State Milton S. Hershey Medical Center. The Hershey Trust Co. used the M.S. Hershey Foundation as a conduit to donate the money. It was built well after Milton Hershey's death. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.254.198.242 ( talk) 01:07, 24 August 2006 (UTC)
I would delete this since it was not sourced. Any thoughts? Thanks-- Tom 02:15, 23 December 2006 (UTC)
According to "History and Records of the Hershey Family from the year 1600" [1] written in 1913 after a family reunion in 1908 (sponsored by Milton), the writer, Scott F Hershey, traces the Hershe (Hirsch, Herschel, etc) family to Jewish decent, first migrating to Italy, and then Switzerland where they converted to Christianity in the 1600s. But labeling Milton Hershey Jewish based on that would be a stretch. Interesting history though. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mikezung ( talk • contribs) 06:48, 2 December 2019 (UTC)
The article is weak about Milton S. Hershey's wife.What desease killed her?I found some years ago, on an internet site, that she went to charlatans, but such as the doctors, they were useless. Agre22 ( talk) 00:11, 8 June 2008 (UTC)agre22
The Hershey's wife, Mrs. Catherine Elizabeth Sweeney Hershey(1872-1915), died of

Agre22 - That's the first record I've seen discuss her illness. I believe most accounts say that she had lung problems, either cystic fibrosis, tuberculosis or chronic asthma/bronchitis. (They traveled quite a bit to find suitable climates, which would not fit with an MS-like illness.) --

If I read and re-read very carefully, I can infer that Mattie was his aunt -- is that right? If that's correct then then the relationship should be made clear with the first mention of her name.

"Milton Hershey was born on September 13, 1857, to Veronica "Fanny" Snavely and Henry Hershey, in the tricks of caramels, Milton went back home to prove himself to his uncles, who had by then stopped aiding Milton financially and as Milton suspected had stopped believing in him too. He stopped by Chicago and sold some of his candy there too, but soon grew tired of the big city life and headed back to Lancaster, Pennsylvania leaving his father behind.
"Milton returning was a great joy for Mattie who loved Milton as if he were her own son. Milton's return was short-lived though. He soon left for New York."
That first sentence makes NO SENSE WHATSOEVER. "In the tricks of caramels"??!!!
The writer here seems to have an aversion to commas. "Milton went back home to prove himself to his uncles, who had by then stopped aiding Milton financially and, as Milton suspected, had stopped believing in him, too." "... headed back to Lancaster, Pennsylvania, leaving..." "a great joy for Mattie, who loved Milton..." "Milton's return was short-lived, though. He soon left for New York." Better yet: "His return, however, was short lived; he soon left for New York."
Grammar: "Milton's return," not "Milton returning"
Who is Mattie?? There is no previous reference.
I couldn't bring myself to read beyond these two paragraphs of the article. I've not seen something this poor on any other Wikipedia entry.

Hello Lms419, That first sentence actually does make sense. When Milton Hershey took his first job, he began with the Lancaster Caramel Company. Mattie Snavely was Veronica Snavely's sister, or in other words, Milton Hershey's aunt. I will fix what you have brought up, as I have reliable resources to use.

The article is incomplete. Under the Hershey Chocolate company section, at the last paragraph:
The factory was in the center of a dairy farmland, but with Hershey’s support, houses, businesses, churches, and a transportation infrastructure accreted around the plant. Because the land was surrounded by dairy farms, Hershey was able to use fresh milk to mass-produce quality milk chocolate. Hershey continued to experiment and perfect the process of
