Florence A. (Florence Antoinette) Kilpatrick

Born in 1888 as Florence Antoinette Calvert in Peterborough, she wrote under the name Florence A. Kilpatrick. Public-domain records confirm her as the author of Our Elizabeth, a humorous novel that helped keep her name in circulation with later readers.

Later reference material describes her as both an author and a playwright, and notes that she also wrote crime fiction and short stories. Among the titles linked to her are Motive for Murder, Elizabeth the Sleuth, and Elizabeth Finds the Body, suggesting a career that ranged from light comedy to detective storytelling.

A portrait survives in the collection of the National Portrait Gallery, where she is identified as Florence Antoinette Kilpatrick, later Crowder. Even from the small record that remains online, she comes across as a versatile early-20th-century writer whose work moved easily between humor, drama, and suspense.
