Talk:Ruth Graves Wakefield

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I cannot find any references to an Andrew Nestlé except web sources which all seem to come from sources relating to this story. The Nestlé corporate website does not tell the story quite the same way, and credits Ruth Wakefield for approaching them as a company. Henri Nestlé, the founder, had left the company by 1890. I can find no further mention of anyone named Nestlé.

This story is a good one and I believe is more credible without the Andrew Nestlé portion. If anyone else can dig up supporting facts, I for one am interested. Now, I'll just go and have some milk and Toll House cookies. <gr> Vaoverland 21:26, Apr 1

On first effort, I don't think finding about her parents information will be easy or quick. However, here are some other leads about her:

1. Her grave

2. Her cookbook collection

3. Whitman Massachusetts webgen has a picture of Toll House Inn

4. Background of the Toll House Inn

5. about her school

There are pictures on some of these sites you could copy for a non commerical school report which we do not have permission to add to Wikipedia.

Good Luck. Mark Fisher aka Vaoverland 23:02, 21 February 2007 (UTC)
