Private, Company E

[This biographical sketch under construction]

Edward Hull was born in DuPage County, Illinois. His father Stephen Hull was born in New York, his mother Mary in Vermont. Of their five children, Edward was the only one born in Illinois, the family having migrated to Illinois around 1845. At the time Hull enlisted in the Fifty-First Illinois Infantry he was living in DuPage. He reenlisted at the end of 1863 at Blaine's Crossroads, Tennessee when most of the men of the regiment reenlisted.

Hull was killed in the skirmishing around Kennesaw Mountain on June 15, 1864. Hull was one of the boys of the regiment, being only seventeen years old when he was killed in Georgia. He doesn't have the look of an old man in his picture at left.
