Comments:
Andrew Murray Hyland was born in Scituate Massachusetts in 1844. He was the son of Peleg and Mary Jane (Bates) Hyland. At the time of his enlistment in Co.D in August of 1862, he was employed as a shoecutter and worked on the family farm. After training in Lynnfield MA the 38th embarked for Baltimore where they joined other regiments encamped outside the city. Like his cousin Edmund Hyland who served with the 32nd Mass, Andrew wrote home constantly and his surviving letters give a vivid account of camp life as a union private. In one letter he proudly boasts to his parents about how he and several other Scituate boys in his company built a bake oven out of discarded bricks and mud, using a wood shingle for a trowel. He describes the drilling and reviews for visiting politicians. In November 1862 just as the regiment was to set off on General Banks expedition to Louisiana. Pvt Hyland came down with typhus fever. He was admitted to Mansion Hill Hospital in Baltimore where he died on November 17th. He was buried in Loudon National Cemetery in Baltimore. The Hyland family erected a stone in his memory at the family plot in Mount Hope Cemetery in Scituate MA. Copies of his wartime letters and a pre-war tintype image of Andrew were donated to the Scituate Historical Society by his descendents.
