Description: Biographical memoir of Peter Hyland, a baker who spent his entire life, education, and career within the Moravian settlement of Fulneck, England. The text, authored by a lifelong neighbor and acquaintance, outlines Hyland's education at the local Boys' Day School, his professional transition into his father's bakery business, and his marriages to Ann Birkby and Mary Wheatley. The account highlights his extensive structural contributions to the Fulneck community, which included serving on the congregation's committee and council, alongside a remarkable 52-year tenure as a voluntary chapel servant. It concludes with observations on his personal character, his spiritual principles, and his peaceful death from natural decline in May 1846.
