Reverend Dr. Charles Clifford Peale, age 85, died early Wednesday, September 21, 1955 at his home at Harrison Valley, Potter County, Pennsylvania. He was born in Lynchburg, Highland County, Ohio. Prior to entering the ministry, he was a Doctor of Medicine, where his education was the best provived at that time. He had the instincts and abilities that would have made him a great physician. But a deep spiritual experience led him to the ministry. He served pastorates in Ohio at Sugar Tree Ridge, Highland, Cincinnati: Asbury Church; Norwood: Grace, during which incumbency he built the present church building. Then he served successively at Greenville, Bellfontaine, and Findlay, Ohio. He then became Superintendent of the Delaware, Ohio District and later of the pastorate of the First Methodist Church of Olean, New York, where he served four years. He then became Superintendent of the Hornell, New York District, from which post he retired in 1943.
In 1895 he married Anna DeLaney, who died in 1939. In 1950, Dr. Peale married Mrs. Mary Rines of Harrison Valley, Pennsylvania, who survives him. Dr. Peale is also survived by three sons--Rev, Dr. Norman Vincent Peale, minister of the Marble Collegiate Church, New York City; Dr. Robert Clifford Peale, a physician, of Olean, New York; and Rev. Leonard D. Peale, pastor of the Richmond Avenue Methodist Church, Buffalo, New York. Six grandchildren also survive--Margaret, John and Elizabeth Peale of New York; Robert W. Peale of Dallas, Texas; and Charles and Lucy Ann Peale of Buffalo, New York. Funeral services were held at the First Methodist Church, Olean, New York, Friday, September 23, at 2 p.m. Rev. Dr. Harold W. McIlnay, Superintendent of the Buffalo District officiated, assisted by Rev. Dr. Herbert Harrison, pastor of the Olean Church. Burial was in the family plot in Lynchburg, Ohio, Saturday, September 24, 1955. Dr. Peale was a physician, preacher and philosopher endowed with a tremendous intellectual curiosity which made him at home in many fields of thought. He loved to speculate about the world and everything in it, the stars, and man, and God. He reveled in philosophy. He loved all of nature and strangely enough became one of the greatest amateur authorities on snakes. Even after arthritis crippled him so that he could hardly use his hands, and a series of strokes confined him to a wheelchair, he could always think. He became interested in astronomy and studied the heavens from his chair. He was a fine conversationalist and discussed the greatest questions with charming wit and inspiration. He put a touch of glory on everything he handled intellectually. He lifted himself above his physical difficulties by a mighty upthrust of courage and spirit and mental alertness and faith, and so life never lost its fascination for him. Best of all he was a true servant of Christ, whom he served faithfully and devotedly for fifty years of active ministry. Great as was his contributions to the church, the community and his fellowman, his greatest ourstanding achievement was in his family. With his wife he taught the Gospel of Jesus Christ to his children in their infancy. He made every sacrifice that his boys might have the best education possible, and his courage, his inspiration, his kindly spirit guided them into channels of service to mankind. He would never permit his sons to give up, and it is with that spirit they carry on in their chosen fields. He lived a rich, full life of service on this earth, and he is now in the great Church Triumphant with those other loved ones who have gone before.
