Edwin A. Hubbard was born in Sanford, Maine, about 1844, the son of Abram and Marcia (Hubbard) Hubbard. (Based on his age at the time of his death - 32 years - he would have been born about 1835, but census records consistently give an 1844-1845 range for his birth.) He was the youngest of two sons. In 1850, the family lived in York, Maine, where his father was a lumber dealer^[1] and by 1855 the family had removed to Somerville, Massachusetts, where his father was a master carpenter.^[2]

Edwin was an 18-year-old clerk when he enlisted to serve in the Civil War, on September 10, 1862. He mustered in as a private in Company B of the 5th Mass. Infantry on Sept. 19 of that year. He served a 9-month term and mustered out on July 2, 1863, at Camp Lander in Wenham, Mass.^[3]

Edwin died of consumption in 1867. He was 32 years old.^[4] He is buried at the family plot of Maple Grove Cemetery in Acton, Maine.^[5]
