Peale, Pennsylvania


Peale, Pennsylvania is a ghost town located in Cooper Township, Clearfield County, Pennsylvania. It was founded in 1883 and was named after S.R. Peale of Lock Haven.
An excerpt from The Raftman's Journal, published on August 20, 1885, describes more in-depth what the town was like:
The site of the Oakwood Cemetery is one of the few distinguishable sites left in what was once a thriving coal mining town—and "distinguishable" is a very loose term. The cemetery only has one marked grave remaining, belonging to Martha Renfrew, aged 14yrs, 11mos at the time of her death.
