Dragoon
camp members met at Robinson Springs cemetery on Tuesday morning 14 August and
completed the maintenance of the grounds. Compatriot Connor Lee had cut the
grass with his zero turn mower on Saturday so the Tuesday crew focused on weed
eating, debris removal and other chores. The Tuesday morning work was completed
in about an hour with 7 Dragoons present. They were Don Owens, Bill Gill, Bill
Myrick, Tyrone Crowley, James Spears, Jerry Clay Lyle and Larry Spears. Jerry
was a welcome sight as he has had some health problems but was volunteering for
what he could do for the clean up.
There
are at least 7 Confederate veterans buried in this cemetery that was once a
part of Autauga county. Other war veterans are buried here also along with some
early inhabitants of the area. All flags were checked for wear and replaced as
necessary.
The camp will also conduct a clean up at Indian Hill cemetery this coming Saturday the 18th. Official
start time is 8 AM but come earlier if desired. Some Dragoons have already
been working at Indian Hill this week to give us a head start for Saturday.
The
workers pictured are Bill Gill and Don Owens; James Spears;
and Tyrone Crowley.
