The Prattville Dragoons Camp 1524, Sons of Confederate
Veterans continued cleaning up Indian Hills Cemetery on Saturday, Oct. 9th. Dragoons along with volunteers from the
community arrived with chain saws, axes, and other tools and consigned a large amount of
debris to the burn pile. The work is
hard and far from complete. Decades of
underbrush, insects, poison ivy, and at least one copperhead have all allied to
oppose the effort. Still the work goes
on. Saturday's workers included Bill Branch, Tom
Crowley, Harold Grooms, Stuart Waldo, Tom Snowden, James and Larry Spears, Wayne Sutherland,
and Louis Turner. The objective: Restore the final resting place suitable for
these citizens of Autauga County interred there some of whom fought and died so honorably in the Confederate Army!
