T THOMPSON

The Thompson Funeral Home was established in 1956 by John L. Thompson. John, a 1931 graduate of Roaring Spring High School, bought the business in 1956 from the Hite Brothers. Prior to the purchase, John had worked for the Hite Brothers. That same year, John purchased the 734 New Street residence where the funeral home is still located today. John graduated with honors from Eckels College of Mortuary Science in Philadelphia, PA. Prior to purchasing the business, John had twenty years experience as a funeral director. John, along with his wife Freda, and sons J. Gary and Raymond resided in the apartment above the funeral home. Freda served as an assistant at the funeral home. In 1977, John retired after 39 years serving as a funeral director. John passed away in November 18, 1985. Freda resided above the funeral home for over 50 years until her death on February 21, 2008...
