Pension Index Entry

Ancestry.com yielded a military pension index which shows Private Ramer's original application and his widow Mrs. Eliza Ramer's application after his death. This gives us a death date of either 1895 or early 1896 and the first evidence I've found of his spouse. It also confirms that he did indeed return to Pennsylvania after the war.
