Penn Hall
History of Centre and Clinton Counties, John B Linn, 1883, p294
"Penn Hall is situated one mile east of Spring Mills. James Cooke built the first house there. John Petrikin kept the first store, and was succeeded by J. Pennington, who also kept hotel. Isaac Hanna also had a tavern for a number of years in the old house built by Jacob Coalman. He afterward removed to what is now called the " White House," where Daniel Keen and Adam Fisher also kept hotel. The latter was succeeded by James Musser, since whose time no public-house is kept. Maj. J. B. Fisher is the present store-keeper and postmaster.
Dr. J. B. Leitzel located in Penn Hall in the practice of medicine in 1869. His father came from Berks County to Penn's valley in 1820. The first tavern at Penn Hall was kept by the widow of David Cooke, son of James, Esq., who was killed in 1806."
