Prattville Dragoons Grounds Maintenance Workday at Robinson Springs Cemetery

Six members of the Prattville Dragoons Sons of Confederate Veterans Camp 1524 helped with lawn maintenance at Robinson Springs cemetery the week of  March 13th.  Quartermaster Bill Myrick sprayed weed killer along the fence line on Wednesday to keep it clear.  Brigade Commander Harold Grooms cut the large areas of the cemetery lawn with his riding mower.  On Saturday morning the 18th these two compatriots plus 1st Lt Rob Schwartz, Comms Officer Doug Butler, Color Sgt John Dennis and compatriot Thomas Griffith all helped with trimming and cleaning the gravesites.  Rob also observed that the headstone cleaner applied in the fall had made further progress in making a number of markers appear much brighter.  This was the first cemetery workdays of the year at historic Robinson Springs cemetery in Millbrook AL, the final resting place for a number of Confederate veterans and community founding families.  The Dragoons maintain Robinson Springs as part of the SCV Guardian program.
