While the McMurchy family is not exactly related to this favorite candy company, they do have something in common-the initials MM! Forest Mars founded the M&M company with Bruce Murrie, son of the Hershey chocolate president. M&M production began in 1941, primarily for the soldiers to have the candy, because it wouldn't melt! Today, over 400 million individual candies are produced every day in the U.S.
On the foot marker here you will find 4 foot stones that have the initials MM. Near here you will find the cache.
Please remember the cemetery rules dawn to dusk only! Cache placed with permission from the township.
Thank you Brigadier for publishing! And congrats to grandfolks on FTF!!!
