Wednesday 18 October, four Dragoons took care of the maintenance of Robinson
Springs Cemetery. Eight Confederate veterans are buried there along with
veterans of the Spanish American War, WWI, WWII, Korea and other conflicts.
There are many ancestors of present day inhabitants and founders of Elmore and Autauga
counties buried here dating back to the early 1800’s.
Carl
French of the Cradle of the Confederacy Camp in Montgomery will mow the large
area of the cemetery away from the graves in the next day or so.
Thanks
to Skip Ward, Douglas “Bear” Butler and Bill Gill for contributing their labor
and time to this Dragoon community service project which is part of the camps commitment to the SCV Guardian program taking care of historic cemeteries. Below you see the
participants of the cleanup and a photo of part of the area cleaned up. The
Battle Flags that mark each Confederate veteran grave were flying briskly in
today’s cooler fall breeze.
