The
final resting place at Robinson Springs Cemetery of Confederate veterans, veterans of wars from the Spanish
American to Korea and residents of Autauga/ Elmore county was cleaned on Friday July 6th by
some hard working Dragoons. The work began before 7:00 AM to beat the heat and was finished by 8:30 thanks to the group that reported for duty and did
the necessary chores. Dragoon Conner Lee generously devoted a portion of his
Independence Day holiday earlier in the week to cutting the grass at the cemetery and the crew on Friday did
the weed eating, removal of trash and debris to finish
the clean up. Conner
is not pictured this time but the Friday crew consisted of, left to right; this
writer, Don Owens, Bill Gill, Tyrone Crowley, Bill Myrick and Douglas B.
Butler. Flags were replaced as needed on all veterans’ graves and some were
added. The Millbrook Post 133, American Legion provided the U.S.
flags for the U.S. veterans. Many
of the Confederate veterans interred in this cemetery were in Autauga county
Confederate units as this area was part of Autauga county before and during The
War Between the States.
