He planned & laid out much of the town. When Bob Johnson came in 1918 he & his folks were living in tents & logging on what is now main street. It was just a dirt road. Weott was a two fisted logging camp whose name had been changed from Helms Camp to Mckee's Mill. It wasn't till about 1923 that its name changed to Weott.
