The historic Hillsboro Cemetery was founded in April 1896 by seven local residents: J.E. Clendening, J.H. Thompson, W.D. Thompson, S.O. Clendening, R.W. Grubb, J.W.A. Virts and C.C. Bell. Land was acquired for the establishment of a cemetery near the Town of Hillsboro, Loudoun County, Virginia. Over the years since, several additional parcels of land were acquired and the cemetery grounds have grown in size to approximately 11 acres surrounded by Short Hill and Blue Ridge Mountains.
In the early years, graves were hand-dug, usually by a man named T. Longerbeam who performed this task for many years, and later by E. Utterback and R. Hardy. Presently, the cemetery’s Superintendent digs graves with the aid of machinery. Many very old headstones can be found in the northern part of the grounds. The Board is presently contemplating the installation of a columbarium within the cemetery.
The cemetery’s association is overseen by a Board of Directors. Members have included surnames found on headstones throughout the cemetery -- Thompson, Grubb, Potts, Everhart and James. R.L. Thompson served as President of the Board for nearly 30 years until he passed away in May 2009 at the age of 94. Many of the currently serving directors are descendants of earlier serving directors and members of families of long-standing in the local area.
Family buried at the Hillsboro Cemetery include:
m. = maiden name
h1., h2. = surname of first husband, second husband
