Telephone Pioneers Salute Cyrus Garman
CYRUS L. GARMAN, RETIRED VETERAN employee of the Hershey Telephone Com-pany,
was honored recently by the Keystone Council of Telephone Pioneers at a din-ner
at the Community Inn. In the photo, Pioneers Association President Cora Bender
presents a life membership certificate to Mr. Garman as Kenneth Hatt and Ivan
Seltzer of the Hershey Telephone Company look on. Also attending as a representa-tive
of the Telephone Pioneers and the Hershey company was Charles Gerlach.
Sixteen officers and members of the Pioneer Association were present from
the Bell Telephone Company of Pennsylvania.
Mr. Garman, who resides at 26 East Areba Avenue, retired recently after for-ty-
seven years with the local telephone company, a term of service that began in Oc-tober
of 1910. Prior to that time he worked for several years as an electrician with
the Hershey Chocolate Company, and in that capacity helped to install the original
telephone lines from the Reading Station to the chocolate factory office and to Milton
S. Hershey's home.
He became a "charter member" of the local telephone company staff when the
first exchange was installed in 1910 in the (then) Hershey Department Store build-ing,
now the Community Inn. (The original keyboard has been placed in the Hershey
Museum).
Mr. Garman is a Hershey native, born at Owl Hill at the present location of the
Hershey Cemetery, and his entire working career has been spent with Hershey.

GOOD NEIGHBOR POLICY, practiced as a part of his
daily living, brought to Frank Bybee last week the an-nual
commendation of the Hershey Lion's Club for out-standing
service to the community. In the photo, he
shows Mrs. Bybee the Award of Merit presented to him
by the Lions at the local service club's community serv-ice
dinner on Tuesday evening, Jan. 21.
The Lions' Club selected him for the honor because
of his countless acts of kindness and personal service
to many persons, the blind, the aged and the ill, and for
his love for children, for whom his pockets seem to hold
a never-failing supply of candy and chewing gum. He
is a regular Thursday and Sunday visitor at the Her-shey
Hospital, and frequently makes trips to Harrisburg
hospitals to bring cheer to patients.
During World War Two, Mr. and Mrs. Bybee oper-ated
a household version of the USO and at times had to
call on neighbors to provide beds for an overflow of sol-dier-
guests from nearby Indiantown Gap.
The 1958 recipient of the Lions' Club's community
service award is a longtime employee of the Hershey
Chocolate Corporation's Printing Department. Born in
Kentucky and reared in Texas, he served overseas in
World War One with the Third Division. Bybee is well
known here as a former baseball player and is one of
the sport's most dedicated fans.
Mr. and Mrs. Bybee reside at 118 West Caracas
Avenue, and have made their home in Hershey since
1927.
They are the parents of a son, Frank, Jr., a teacher
in the Swatara Township schools, and two daughters—.
Mrs. Robert Evans of Hummelstown, a registered nurse
on the staff of the Harrisburg Hospital, and Mrs. Wil-liam
Moore of Susquehanna Township who is employed
in the office of International Harvester at Harrisburg.
The Bybees have four grandsons.
