I categorized the cemetery for Pleasant Valley CemeteryAlso known as Riverside Pioneer Cemetery, Newport, Jones County, Iowa, USA

However FindAGrave has Newport in Jones County. I can not find its wikidataID to add to the category?

See Category: Newport, Iowa for Category: Pleasant Valley Cemetery, Newport, Iowa

Thank you

To add to the confusion, there are three populated places in Iowa named Newport, in Johnson, Louisa, and Jones counties.
Oh boy…

According to Google Maps, that cemetery is still called Riverside Cemetery. It is rural Olin, but technically now has an Anamosa address. https://maps.app.goo.gl/KUKyN54EMQdUFJ8w8 
There is another Riverside Cemetery that is in the city limits of Anamosa, which may be why this one is now considered Pleasant Valley Cemetery, however, I could not find any evidence that it actually is listed as that versus Riverside Pioneer Cemetery. In the google map above, with satellite view, you can see that it is tucked between two cornfields and basically just has a field drive for an entrance.
I called the funeral home listed on this page, but they aren't open yet. I figure they may have information about that cemetery and its history.
