Winfield Scott Hershey 1904-1949 Akron, Summit, Ohio
I am sharing information about Winfield Scott Hershey. I mistakenly thought he was in my family line, but now know that he is not. Since I've already done the research, I thought I would post it before I delete it from my database. The below is all I have.
Kind Regards,
