Interesting reading for this comming Memorial day http://20thmainevolunteers.com/stranger.html

Ted, May 10th is Confederate Memorial Day here in North Carolina. Last Saturday, to honour the many men who served in the Confederate Army during the War, the Beaufort Plow Boys (my local Sons of Confederate Veterans Camp) hoisted a First National Flag at the Beaufort County Court House in Washington, NC from 8 AM until 5 PM. We're allowed to do this after obtaining permission by a motion passed by the Beaufort County Commissioners. Also, we placed a wreath at the Confederate Monument in Oakdale Cemetery in Washington. Personally, I had 12 ancestors from my area to serve, and I've personally placed a flag at each known gravesite. These flags stay at the grave year round and I check every so often to see if one is missing or worn out so I can replace it with a new one. One last note: one of my ancestors, Henry Harding, was Captain of the Beaufort Plow Boys http://cob61stregncst.homestead.com/ until he was promoted to Major of the NC 61st Infantry.

The topic of graves comes up often. Just an aside. While looking for my g-g-grandfather's site I visited a cemetery near Petersburg, VA. The caretaker told me that Union markers are round on top. Confederate markers come to a point like a roof on a house. He smiled and said Confederate markers are that way so Yankees can't sit on them.

Folks, I would like for all you to remember all of those that have made the ultimate sacrifice to preserve and to protect this great country. Take the time to remember those so many years ago who made that sacrifice, no matter which side of the line they served on. I have never walked a battlefield, and not think about the blood under my feet. And I never forget that between 1864 when Gen Grant took over to 1865 of all the young men between 17 and 21 that payed the ultimate sacrifice. Let us all honor these men, and visit a cemetery and leave a flower. I would like also to make a comment about soldiers who deserted. We look upon desertion as a bad thing. However what would we do if we had to do as Picketts men did at Gettysburg. Or what Union men had to do at Fredericksburg. I spent 26 years in the military and have been in war, but no war like the civil war, until you walk in somebodies elses shoes, we shouldn't judge their actions. For all those men who payed the ultimate sacrifice let me say "Thank You and May you Rest In Peace" Ted

If I remember right, there were seven veteran homes built for the Civil War vets within the full country. I checked some databases (not complete) and didn't find him in the one in Ohio (Dayton) which would be fairly close. I do know men there were from all over the country.

Roy I believe your conjecture is correct for the Ancestry.com Pension Index indicates Mary filed as a widow. I would imagine the best bet would be local newspapers in the towns where he lived in Clarion or Clinton PA. Perhaps US Genweb pages would give you someone who does lookups in those areas, if not find the County Historical society for those counties and see if they can help.

I am trying to find an obit and burial of Daniel Ferer/Ferrer. My ggfather Daniel Ferer/Ferrer enlisted in the civil war in Pittsburg PA. He was a blacksmith and ferrier (shoes horses). He was given a surgeon's discharhe in 1862-1863 in Kittanning Armstrong Co PA because a horse fell on him at Camp Pierpont. We think he was crippled.
