Snellville resident and former Rockette, Janice Ferguson, celebrated her ninetieth birthday in March. Ferguson remarked that she was almost considered an antique. “If the occasion arises, I present myself as an almost genuine antique Rockette. You have to be 100-years old to be called an antique.”

More than ninety years ago, at a crossroads, a community was created. The British-born Snell and Sawyer families established homes and commerce. The late 1870’s brought the wood-built general stores built by the founding fathers that began a growing trend. Churches, doctors and eventually phone service followed.
