Kilmer, [Alfred] Joyce (1886–1918), poet, journalist, and critic, whose best‐known work is the title piece in Trees and Other Poems (1914). He died in the second Battle of the Marne, becoming a symbol of courageous poetic idealism destroyed by war. His other books of poetry are Summer of Love (1911) and Main Street (1917).

Aline Kilmer (1888–1941), his widow, was known as a poet in her own right, having published Candles That Burn (1919), Vigils (1921), and other books.
