It is exceptionally unlikely that this William Zuver enlisted in the Union Army at the age of 67. The William Zuver who enlisted in the 16th Pennsylvania Volunteer Cavalry is almost certainly his son, who would then have been either 25 or 26 years old. This is pretty clearly a case of conflating two men with the same name.
