[edit] Needs more information

this artical needs more info ok —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.8.45.79 (talk) 23:41, 17 February 2005 (UTC)

the info is pretty good —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.134.63.52 (talk) 01:09, 31 March 2006 (UTC)
i agree with both..a little more information would be nice, such as who owns the business now, it needs more recent information —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.62.218.203 (talk) 20:48, 3 April 2006 (UTC)
it does need mo info —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.100.171.179 (talk) 22:50, 6 April 2006 (UTC)
It needs to tell a quote from him —Preceding unsigned comment added by 204.38.102.3 (talk) 17:02, 29 November 2006 (UTC)
Be bold! --Thisisbossi 10:01, 3 December 2006 (UTC)
The info on here is pretty weak. There's only a date of death with no cause (even if it was natural) and no real exploration on his life. A lot of insperation could be taken from documentries on television or buying a DVD from A&E, the History Channel or another network. And could someone at least put a picture up of him or even his grave sight?
By the way the above comment was left my myself, I recently remebered my password.My eyes see all 03:35, 16 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Medical Center

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)
Yeah, what's going on now would be really, really nice, especially for those of us who have to do SCHOOL REPORTS on him and the company. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.206.107.229 (talk) 17:11, 12 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Category Jewish Americans

I would delete this since it was not sourced. Any thoughts? Thanks--Tom 02:15, 23 December 2006 (UTC)

He isn't Jewish at all. Mennonite Germanic and the like. The category was just added by that anon who is trying to muscle up the "Jewish American businesspeople" list for his own special reasons, no doubt. I removed the Swiss and German categories also. Although they are likely true, they were unsourced. And besides, the Hersheys have been in the US for a couple of generations before Milton's birth. Mad Jack 06:47, 24 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Weak about Hershey's wife

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

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)

[edit] Catherine E. S. Hershey died of muscular dystrophy

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.
