Members and friends of SCV Camp 1524 cleaned the McClendon cemetery on a cold Saturday January 16th removing trees, undergrowth and debris. A large fallen tree which had fallen across the cemetery plots and fence was removed. The fence damage will be addressed at a later date. But the work cleared the cemetery so that the graves were actually visible, long obscured by small trees, undergrowth and fallen limbs. Dragoons Quartermaster Bill Myrick, Color Sergeant John Dennis and compatriot Rob Schwartz as well as Bill's cousin Bob McClellan worked the cleanup. Bob is a former camp and brigade commander from the Troy SCV camp. Following cleanup, Confederate Battle flags were placed on the Confederate veteran graves. The cemetery is located on McClendon Road near the intersection with Smiley Ferry Rd and Lewis Rd in Grady AL.
