Members of the Sons of Confederate Veterans Camp 1524 Prattville Dragoons once again completed grounds maintenance work at historic Robinson Springs cemetery in Millbrook AL over the last week and a half. The dry weather had slowed the growth of the grass and the coming cooler weather should make this the final effort for the season. Brigade Commander Harold Grooms brought his riding mower to cut the large areas of the cemetery and the following day Quartermaster Bill Myrick mowed closer around the grave markers with a push mower. A few days later, compatriot Rob Schwartz was able to get by with a weedeater to finish the trimming and blow off the grave markers as a finishing touch. The Dragoons maintain these grounds as part of the SCV Guardian program to care for historic cemeteries where Confederate veterans are interred. In addition veterans of other wars are buried here along with loved ones of many local families including those who helped establish this area which was known as Robinson Springs and is now a part of Millbrook AL.
