Milton Snavely Hershey was born in Derry Pennsylvania on September 13 1857. Milton attended a one room school called Derry Church School. By the time Milton turned thirteen, he had attended six schools. Milton's mother Fanny Hershey found Milton a job working in an ice cream parlor making candy. By the time he was sixteen, Milton was an apprentice candy maker.
In Philadelphia Pennsylvania, Milton borrowed money from his uncle Abraham and set up his first candy shop. The business failed and Milton moved to Denver and set up a candy shop. That candy business failed along with one in Chicago, New Orleans and New York. Twenty nine year old Milton moved back home in 1886 after every candy shop he started failed.
