Prattville Dragoons Haul and Spread Fill Dirt to Level Grounds of Historic Indian Hill Cemetery

Sons of Confederate Veterans Camp 1524 Color Sgt John Dennis brought in a load of dirt to Indian Hill cemetery in Prattville in order to fill low spots around gravesites there to prepare the ground to support fallen tombstones for many of the historical figures interred there including a number of original Dragoons who served Alabama during the War for Southern Independence.  1st Lt Rob Schwartz and John spent a morning there moving and spreading the dirt to level the ground for setting the tombstones and to allow even cutting surface for lawn maintenance at the cemetery.  The slightly lower temperatures and lower humidity the week of September 12th while working under the shade of the trees at Indian Hill cemetery made their commendable labor less strenuous and taxing.  This effort is part of the continuing maintenance of this historic cemetery, part of the SCV's Guardian program to care for these veterans' final resting place.
