Milton Hershey was born on September 13, 1857, to Veronica "Fanny" Snavely and Henry Hershey. His family were members of Pennsylvania's Mennonite community. His ancestors were Swiss and German and had settled in Pennsylvania in the early 1700s.[3] He grew up speaking the Pennsylvania Dutch language.[4] Like many rural young people of the time, Milton was expected to help out on the family farm, and he learned early on of the value of hard work and perseverance. Henry Hershey rarely stayed anywhere very long, and was prone to leaving his wife and child for long periods. Because of this, Hershey had a very limited education with no schooling after 4th grade.
In 1876, Milton Hershey moved to Philadelphia to start his first confectionery business, using what he learned from an apprenticeship in his youth. Financially supported by his mother's family, the business survived for only six years, before going bankrupt in 1882. Milton then traveled to Denver, New Orleans, and Chicago looking for opportunities, before settling in New York City and starting a second confectionery business after training at Huyler's in 1883. While initially successful, that business lasted only 3 years, closing in 1886.[5]
