Members of the Prattville Dragoons, Sons of Confederate Veterans Camp 1524 met on Saturday morning August 24th to mow the grass and trim at historic Indian Hill Cemetery on the west side of Prattville. The Dragoons had years previously reclaimed this cemetery from brush and tree overgrowth and installed an historic marker at the cemetery. Dragoons Color Sgt John Dennis and his wife have taken it upon themselves to keep up with the mowing at the cemetery over the past couple of years. But this Saturday morning John had help with compatriots Rob Schwartz, Philip Edwards and Todd Rogers and his son Carson joining in. Camp Commander Harold Grooms had the day prior mowed some of the larger sections with his riding mower. They mowed all around the cemetery grounds, under the large oak trees, and around the grave markers and got it looking very good. This historic cemetery (circa 1820) is the final resting place of some of Prattville's founding families including some Confederate Veterans, original Prattville Dragoons of Co. H of the 3rd Alabama Cavalry.
