Despite temperatures still hovering in the 70s, with the slow approach of fall, the grass growth has slowed. But Robinson Springs cemetery still needed one more mowing for the season til the grass went dormant. Quartermaster Bill Myrick went there on Saturday November 7th and mowed around all the grave markers and trees and then on Tuesday the 10th Connor Lee brought his riding zero turn mower to finish the larger areas of the cemetery. Many thanks to these dedicated compatriots who worked the grass cutting to get the cemetery in kept appearance for the winter. The Dragoons help maintain Robinson Springs Cemetery as part of the Sons of Confederate Guardian Program. Robinson Springs is the final resting place of many veterans (including Confederates) and other founding citizens of the Robinson Springs community which predates Millbrook AL in this area.
The Dragoons and friends had worked at Indian Hill cemetery to remove a fallen tree from one of the season's hurricanes including taking loads of cut wood to the Autauga Interfaith Care Center to donate as firewood to the community's needy. Color Sgt John Dennis worked at Indian Hill to burn the remaining limbs to finish the cleanup. Indian Hill is the final resting place of a number of Confederate veterans including original Dragoons and founders citizens of the Indian Hill community which predates Prattville.
