Note: The Fairfield Abbey was a mausoleum which stood in what is now the 6th Addition of Evergreen Cemetery. Structural deterioration caused the Abbey to begin collapsing, and in the 1960s those who had been interred there were moved to other accomodations; the Abbey was subsequently razed. Evaline, husband Lewis, and their daughter Melissa Pearl were all moved to Evergreen Cemetery, Lot Old.P.078.
