The Iowa City Press says . . .

. . . that Dr. Crosthwait, formerly of this city and once a member of the Iowa Legislature, lost his two sons in the battle of Mill Springs. They were serving with their father in the rebel army, and deserved their fate, though not so much as he who by his example lead them into such associations.
