Need help with Cyrus Franklin McDowell

Hello,

I am looking for the date and place of death for Cyrus Franklin McDowell b. 1841 or 1842 in Wolf Creek Mercer Pennslyvania. After serving in the 169th Regiment of the Pennsylvania Volunteers in the Civil War, he moved to Gordon, Sheridan County, Nebraska and married Ellen Berlin, b.July 12, 1849, Pennsylvania d. June 3, 1849 possibly Gordon, Nebraska. The last census he was in was 1920 Gordon, Sheridan , Nebraska, age 78. I have searched many places for date and place of death for both Cyrus and Ellen. Since he was a veteran of the civil war, could he be buried in a veterans cemetary somewhere? I don't know very much about that. There were also many McDowells in Dawes County including his son Milton Berlin McDowell, b. 1875, d. 1949. I am stumped. I can't find Cyrus in any Nebraska cemetary.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
