I should have also mentioned, that you can order original records of service, pension, etc through NARA: http://www.archives.gov/veterans/military-service-records/pre-ww-1-records.html The site can be a little confusing, but wander through the page, and collect the info you need to order his records, if they exist. I have ordered records before, but it has been a while.
