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. His NARA documents indicate he was born about 1828 in Lebanon PA. He was listed in the 1850 census of Union County PA under the name of FERY. He was listed in the 1860 Clarion County census under the name FEARY In 1858 he was a blacksmith in Mayport Clarion County PA His wife, Mary Niehart Ferer, is listed with her 4 children in the 1870 census 4th ward Lock Haven Clinton County PA...................no Daniel. In 1872, his wife filed for his pension, so he must have died by then. We have no record of Daniel after 1860 Your help is welcomed, Roy - Mississippi

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.
