Biographical Bytes from Bala #034 - COMPLETE
Almost everybody loves chocolate.
- Henry Oscar Wilbur was a Philadelphia chocolatier who was probably most famous for his small chocolate pieces with his name on the bottom. He called them Wilbur Buds and offered a spirited competition to Milton Hershey’s Kisses.
- Although Hershey is not buried locally, his beloved wife Kitty spent nearly three years in a receiving vault until a new cemetery was built in Hershey as her final resting place.
- Grain merchant Franklin Baker once received a load of coconut as payment for a boatload of grain. Baker turned this serendipitous occurrence into a lifetime of working with coconut, such that the name “Baker’s” is almost synonymous with coconuts.
You’ll hear about these three Laurel Hill West residents - two permanent, one temporary - in this episode of Biographical Bytes from Bala #034 – Sweet Tooth: Wilbur, Baker, Hershey.
