On the March back to Augusta, Maine to complete mustering out. While Hiram and Lewis both Served in the 28th Maine they weren't the only ones in their family to serve. Hiram (1827 or 1826), William Henry (1827), Silas T. (1834), Josiah W. (1835), Lewis (1844). Hiram died of disease on the way home from the War. Leaving behind his wife Mary Ann and multiple young kids. Though Hiram wasn't the only brother to Perish in the war. His brother Silas T. would also Perish in the war (1834- February 10, 1862 in Ossabaw Sound, Georgia). Luckily these two were the only two to perish in the Civil War. I'm looking into the service records of the other Roberts Boys as well.
