Toward the end of 1941, with the threat of war imminent, the War Department chose a site between Edison and Piscataway, New Jersey as a staging area for troops. They named the camp for the poet Joyce Kilmer, who enlisted in the U.S. Army during World War I and was killed in action in the Aisne-Marne offensive. The camp officially closed in 2009.

The family burial plot is now overgrown with many bushes and in desperate need of care. The graves of John Smalley and wife Ann (Walden) Smalley cannot be located. No markers can be located, if any should still exist.
