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. [1]
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.
