A brother of Daniel Craig, of Richmond, Indiana . . .

. . . had three sons and one son-in-law, who enlisted in the army, in one of the Iowa regiments, and were stationed at Cairo. The three sons and the son-in-law have all died recently, in the space of five days of each other. Such are the trophies of war.
