Prattville Dragoons SCV Camp 1524 July Workday at Robinson Springs Cemetery

Six members of Sons of Confederate Veterans Camp 1524 continuing the SCV Guardian program helped mow, trim, and clean the Robinson Springs cemetery in Millbrook AL as part of their July workday.  Compatriot Connor Lee came the day prior and used his zero turn commercial mower to make quick work of the large expanse of grassy area.  Then on Saturday morning July 11th Commander Waldo, 1st Lt Grooms, Quartermaster Myrick, Adjutant Sutherland, Compatriot Jayson Altieri and new member Robert Schwartz arrived early in the morning to beat the heat and complete the work.  Myrick, Grooms and Waldo used their push mowers to mow around the tombstones and slabs and the fenceline while Sutherland and Schwartz used their weed trimmers to complete the grass cutting.  Altieri trimmed the shrubs around to grave sites so that the headstones were no longer obscured.    The cemetery looked very good after the mowing and trimming especially with the crepe myrtles in bloom.   Robinson Springs is the final resting place of many of the areas founding citizens and many veterans.
