Highway Named in Honor of Local World War II Veteran In 1942, Roger W. Cavender joined the U.S. Army to fight in World War II. Now, 80 years later, he has been honored with the dedication of a highway in his name. The memorial highway is the portion of State Highway 372 that connects Highway 575/515 to Old Highway 5 between Ball Ground and Nelson. A resolution to name the highway in Cavender’s honor was passed and then signed by Gov. Brian Kemp earlier this year.The naming of the highway, which is located in both Cherokee and Pickens Counties, is an appropriate gesture, as Cavender was born in Jasper and had close ties to both counties. For most of his life, he lived on a hill in northern Cherokee County that overlooks the highway
