Talk:Milton S. Hershey

message: 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)    
:The Hershey Company's major owner is the Hershey Trust Co., who controls the assets of the Milton Hershey School, the school Milton Hershey founded. The remainder of the stock is publicly held. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.254.198.242 (talk) 01:10, 24 August 2006  (UTC)

message: 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)
replies: text: This article is about Milton Hershey, not about his wife.  Thus, it is weak on her life, that of his parents, and any other acquaintences he may have had.  It is weak because it is not about them, and only says enough to help fill out the description of the main topic, Milton Hershey himself. Loren.wilton (talk) 05:43, 9 June 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Weak about Hershey's wife

message: The Hershey's wife, Mrs. Catherine Elizabeth Sweeney Hershey(1872-1915), died of muscular dystrophy in 1915.I think that Mrs. Hershey deserved, an article about her on wikipedia.On an internet site http://www.nndb.com/people/969/000160489/ , I found some informations about Mrs. Hershey.

replies: text: Hershey's wife was not Mrs. Cathrine Elizabeth Sweeney Hershey. It was Veronica Snavely, or Fanny as she was known by her friends and family. Cathrine E. S. Hershey must have been a Henry Hershey's mother or some other relationship like that. Checks Facts (Talk) 22:56, 22 December 2016 (UTC)

message: The acoustics in the Founder's Hall auditorium at the Milton Hershey school may well be the best in the world.  A stage whisper can be heard in any of the 3000 seats.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.86.233.156 (talk) 04:33, 28 January 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: It's been my understanding that Hershey's transfer of his stock to the school was made entirely in secret and that, when he died, he was technically penniless. Don't know how much of this is verifiable, but I always thought those were great details. PurpleChez (talk) 18:43, 25 November 2009 (UTC)

message: 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.

thread_title:  who was Mattie? 

message: "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.

replies: text: 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.Checks Facts (Talk) 13:11, 25 December 2016 (UTC)

message: 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
