Thanks to descendent Dixie O. for providing the following information:

"Harvey Stoneking, his wife May (she is also listed as Zora May, Azora May and Ozora May) and infant all died during the flu epidemic in 1918-1919. They all died within 24 hours supposedly at Oak Flat, Arkansas. I have part of a letter telling when, where and how they died. They were buried in the Ketchum Cemetery west of Old Alluwe, Oklahoma. That cemetery was relocated when they built Oologah Lake. The graves were relocated to the Winganon/Ketchum Cemetery in Rogers County Oklahoma. There are markers with their first initials and last names.

Harvey Stoneking and Zora (Ozora or Azora) May Evans were married 6 June 1915 at VanBuren, Arkansas. I believe her correct name is Azora because the initials on her tombstone are A. M. Stoneking."

Graves are marked with standard Corps of Engineering "slabs", it is unknown what their original stone/stones might have looked like.
