Note: The Fairfield Abbey was a mausoleum which was built in 1915 in what is now the 6th Addition of Evergreen Cemetery. Over time, the building deteriorated, residents were moved to other burial locations, and the building was demolished in 1968. Dr. GEORGE and wife Mary E. CODY ROBB, who died in 1927, were initially interred in the Abbey, and later moved to Lot 2nd.208½ at Evergreen Cemetery.
