On December 12 1862 Edward Hutchins was commissioned Acting Assistant Surgeon USN and later served aboard the USS Port Royal with Farragut during the battle of Mobile Bay. After three years afloat he was discharged from the Navy in December 1865.In 1867 Hutchins married and lived in Philadelphia where he authored a pamphlet entitled Directory of Sunday Schools in Philadelphia in 1871 followed in 1873 by the medical text Obstetrics Aphorisms: For the Use of Students Commencing Midwifery.
