The only cemetery that has come up on searches appears to be this one, it is possible there is a family cemetery in Ridgeport. It is a very small location and not very populated. A photo request has been put up and hopefully someone locally can solve this mystery. A strong suggestion that she is buried here is that her grandparents, William and Elvira Huxford are buried at Mineral Ridge, they have memorials and photos of marker and headstone, is it possible she lies next to them?

UPDATE: 12-21-16
Phone calls today to Iowa Genealogical Society, Funeral homes in Boone, Boone County, IA and a gentleman named Dale who handles records at Mineral Ridge have advised that they know of no other cemeteries in Ridgeport. He stated that records dating back past the 30's are lost and most headstones are sadly worn down and barely readable. It's possible she doesn;t have a marker, or it's unreadable or just hasn't been documented yet.
