Dragoon Benny Harris is heading up a clean-up of the
historic old Indian Hills Cemetery on Golson Road (County Road 86) in Prattville AL. The
work days are listed below. See if you can come and help out. Bring
any trimmers, chain saws, mowers, and anything else you have, or just bring
willing hands to do the work.
Directions to get to Indian
Hills Cemetery: From the junction of Highways 82 and 14 in west
Prattville, go north (toward Tuscaloosa) on Highway 82 for two miles.
Turn left onto County Road 86. Go 1.6 miles and you'll see Indian
Hills Cemetery on your left.
There are several
Confederates buried in this cemetery, some of whom are on the original roster
of the Prattville Dragoons.
Benny reports: I have identified six dates
for cemetery clean-up days at the Indian Hills Cemetery between now and the end
of the year. I will be working to secure the resources we will need in
order to successfully restore this very historic cemetery to a respectable
condition…..resources such as monument repair experts, money to purchase the
monument repair supplies, brick masons to repair the brick walls, chain saw
operators and a bucket truck to removed dead trees and problem trees, burn
permits from the City, Boy Scout Troop participation for more manpower,
etc. Camp members can plan to bring chain saws, rakes, lobbers,
bush axes, weed eaters, etc. My target Cemetery Clean-up dates are…..
