Article Description: Mother and Two Little Sons Drowned.

Article Text:

Springfield, Mo., March, 1.

An especially bad accident occurred yesterday fifteen miles southwest of this city, when Mrs. Joseph LEDBETTER and her two little sons, in attempting to ford Wilson Creek in a wagon, were washed down the stream, which was much swollen by the heavy rains, and all drowned. A large number of men are still dragging the stream, but at last account none of the bodies had been found. Mrs. LEDBETTER was the wife of a prominent citizen in that neighborhood.
