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. You may want to check for possible mis-spellings.

His widow, Mary Niehart Ferer, filed for a pension in 1872 according to NARA documents. He was given a surgeon's discharge 1863 because a horse fell on him at Camp Pierpoint. He was in the PA 1st Calvary. He was a blacksmith and a farrier (shoes horses). We think he was disbaled and went into a veteran's home somewhere. His discharge occurred in Kittanning Armstrong Co PA. Before enlisting he lived in Mayport Clarion Co PA. Mayport is about 25 mile from Kittanning. We have no trace of him after his discharge. We would like to find an obit, hius burial site or the location of a home that would take in a disbled veteran. Your help is welcomed, Roy Stout - Mississippi No virus found in this outgoing message.
