Prattville Dragoons Robinson Springs Cemetery Workday

Sons of Confederate Veterans Camp 1524 compatriots Larry Spears, John Dennis and Stuart Waldo arrived early on Saturday morning at Robinson Springs cemetery in Millbrook to finish the trimming to maintain the historic cemetery.  Connor Lee used his riding lawn mower the previous evening to mow most of the grass in the cemetery so Saturday morning Larry, John and Stuart used push lawn mowers and string trimmers to finish the lawn maintenance effort.  There was a nice cool breeze even given the warm summer day so it was a pleasant task.  A few new U.S. flags and Confederate Battle flags were placed on graves which had faded or torn ones.  There are a number of graves in this cemetery dating from the 19th century for Robinson Springs community founders as well as Confederate veterans.   There are also a number of more recent graves including those of  U.S. Armed Forces veterans.  The cemetery work is part of the SCV Guardian program to maintain the final resting place of Confederate veterans.
