Allison Pena of the National Park Service and Evelyn Minor, in front of a painting of Fazedeville as it appeared prior to 1964. Of Fazendeville, Evelyn Minor says, "I see the village in my mind when I go to the [Chalmette Batteground] park. Like others, the vision fills me with sorrow. I visualize it exactly as it use to be. I see a very quiet serene little place where people used to live. Where are we going to get a place like that now?" -- Evelyn Rose Francis Minor

The ancestors of Evelyn Minor's late husband, Clinton Joseph Minor, were long-time residents of Fazendeville. Evelyn Minor now lives with her family in Los Angeles.
