Bial followed in his father's footsteps, becoming a well-known and respected Medical Doctor, as well. He first studied medicine with his father, then at Maine Medical School in Portland and Brunswick, then the South Medical College in Atlanta, Georgia (where he attained the highest rank in his class).
 In 1885, he was appointed Assistant Surgeon (with rank of First Lieutenant) of the First Maine Regiment of the National Guard. In 1894, he was promoted to Captain, in 1896 to Major. He served in the Spanish-American War as Brigade Surgeon at Chickamauga, Tennessee. He also established a hospital at Havana for U.S. troops there.
 He volunteered to serve in the U.S. Army at the outset of World War I, but was rejected because of high blood pressure. So, he joined the Red Cross and served for a time in Germany in 1915. However, he was called home by the death of his second wife, Ava. In 1917, after the United States had entered the war, he was accepted into the Army and was stationed at Laredo, Texas.
 He had often said that, when it came his time to die, he hoped to do so "while actively engaged in his professional work." It actually happened that way, as he suffered a heart attack while treating a patient in his Norway office. He is buried in the Norway Pine Grove Cemetery (Dr. Bial F. Bradbury Obituary, "Norway Advertiser," [op. cit.], 29 April 1927, page 1, column 4.

Edwin graduated from Bowdoin College in 1877. He was a professor of Natural Science and Chemistry at Ripon College in Ripon, Wisconsin, in 1880 (NARA Microcopy T-9, Roll 1426, Vol. 9, E.D. 55, Page 432C, Dwelling 247, Family 257). However, he resigned that position in June, 1881, and relocated to Boonton, Morris County, New Jersey. He was the consulting chemist to a phosphate manufacturer in New York while, at the same time and for several years, he operated a company manufacturing fertilizers and chemicals in Elizabethport, New Jersey. At the time of his death (of malarial poisoning), he was the president of the Loando Hard Rubber Company. During his lifetime, he came to be recognized as one of the expert chemists of the country. A very complimentary sketch and his picture appear in BIOGRAPHICAL AND GENEALOGICAL HISTORY OF MORRIS COUNTY, NEW JERSEY, Vol. 1 (New York and Chicago: The Lewis Publishing Company, 1899), 286-28
