The rest area is named for Joyce Kilmer, American journalist, poet, literary critic, lecturer and editor. Born in New Brunswick New Jersey in 1886 , Joyce is most remembered as the poet who wrote Trees (I think that I will never see..) After graduating from Rutgers College, Joyce wrote poetry, lectured and provided books reviews for such publications as The Literary Digest, Town & Country, The Nation, and The New York Times. After America declared war on Germany in 1917 he joined the famous New York regiment the Fighting 69th, rose to the rank of Sergeant and was killed at the Second Battle of Marne, in July 1918.
