Mount Peace Cemetery is in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. It is owned and operated by the Odd Fellows organization. It was established in 1865 and is located at 3111 West Lehigh Avenue, near the Laurel Hill Cemetery.
The cemetery property was originally part of the colonial estate of Robert Ralston and kept the estate name of Mount Peace. Another portion of the estate was used for the creation of Mount Vernon Cemetery.
In 1951, the Oddfellows Cemetery on 22nd street in Philadelphia was closed and the bodies reinterred to other cemeteries operated by the Oddfellows, including Lawnview Memorial Park and Mount Peace Cemetery.
The burial records for Mount Peace Cemetery are kept at Lawnview Memorial Park in Rockledge, Pennsylvania.
