..."The Forest Service completed the Killea (now Queets) Guard Station in the winter of 1929. The name Killea was derived from the William and Thomas Killea families who both homesteaded on the Queets River in the mid to late 1890s. As part of the Evergreen community founded in 1890 by John Banta and S. Price Sharp that extended for several miles up the Queets River, William and Thomas Killea established homesteads on opposite banks of the Queets River in T.24N. R.11W. Sec. 1 and 12. By 1908 Thomas Killea sold his property, and in 1917 William Killea did likewise. William Killea's property, known earlier as "Killea Field," was purchased by M. M. Kelley, and subsequently became known as "Kelley Field."...
