Prattville Dragoons SCV Camp 1524 Color Sergeant Maintains Indian Hill Cemetery

John Dennis again single-handedly mowed and trimmed the grass at the Indian Hill Cemetery in Prattville, mowing along the road and bank, trimming around the fence and mowing around the graves and trees throughout the cemetery.  John also cleaned most of the fencing, removing the dirt and mildew on the PVC rail fence bringing it back to a gleaming white.  John is tireless in his efforts supporting the camp in this work as part of the Alabama Division SCV Guardian Program.  He has proven himself invaluable as a new member for the camp supporting all the Dragoons' projects and  initiatives.  The Dragoons brought Indian Hill Cemetery back from forest overgrowth and have maintained the cemetery grounds over the years since.  Indian Hill was a thriving community in the 1800s nearby to Prattville and the cemetery serves as the final resting place for many of these  founding families and a number of Confederate veterans including original Dragoons who served in the War Between the States.
