Our Story

Our Beginnings...

Thompson Funeral Home After serving his country during W.W. II, Hope Miller decided to return to his home community of Hillsboro to form a partnership in the funeral business. In 1959 he decided to open his own business as a sole proprietor at our present location. In October 1981, Hope Miller Funeral Home, Inc. was formed when Steven W. Thompson joined the business. Hope and Steve worked together to serve the Hillsboro Community until Hope retired in April of 1986. At present, Steve continues to operate the business and looks forward to serving the community for many years to come. Wylie-Thompson Funeral Home Charles Willing Byrd, 1770-1828, moved to Sinking Spring in the year of 1822 and purchased the land at 126 S. Main Street, where the "Sinking Spring" was located, and built the present home on this site. The brick used to build the house was made on the property. He was acting Governor of the Northwest Territory from 1802-1803, and the house is still called The Governor Byrd Home today. When Jeff Wylie returned home from W.W. II, the community of Sinking Spring was without a funeral home. While Jeff was in the service, his former employer Ott Tener had died. In 1946, Jeff and his wife Leona purchased the property and started the Wylie Funeral Home. Jeff and Leona operated the business until Jeff's death in 1971. Leona continued the operation of the business with the assistance of her brother-in-law and nephew, Burris and Randy Botkins of Waverly, Ohio, until 1985. In January 1986, the present day owner, Steve W. Thompson, purchased the business from Leona, who continued living at the funeral home until 1999, when Leona decided to move to Waverly. At that time, Steve bought the funeral home building and the 50 acres upon which it is located.
