Note: The Fairfield Abbey was a mausoleum which stood in what is now the 6th Addition to Evergreen Cemetery. In the 1960s, structural deterioration of this building made future burials there impossible; those who were interred there were moved to other accomodations and the Abbey was demolished. Robert was moved from the Abbey to Lot 2nd.220½ in Evergreen Cemetery.
