Gregory Hall has a wonderful website devoted to Mulberry, which today is a nice, quiet rural community not far from the Red River, and he has a page that tells the full
story, with a photo of the family there.
The headstone provides no hint as to their fate, although multiple deaths on the same day tends to be ominous. It reads:
Newton L. Price
1879 Apr. 9, 1919
Ida Price
1883 Apr. 9, 1919
Bertine Price
1913 Apr. 9, 1919
Edgar Lee Price
1915 Apr. 9, 1919
Delton Price
1917 Apr. 9, 1919
