Inscription
This is a Cenotaph. When Bunk's nephew Rev NC Curvey helped survey this cemetery in 1977, he added his Uncle Bunk. So he would not be forgotten. Bunk had left Houston County, when he was a young man. The family never knew what had happened to him, other than he had two daughters. Arthur Curvey is buried in the Crown Hill Cemetery in Tulsa, OK
