- Louise Andrews Kent was born in Brookline, Massachusetts. Her mother Mary Sophronia Edgerly Andrews is said to have won the first women's golf tournament ever played in the USA. Louise graduated from the Simmons College School of Library Science in 1909. She served as the editor of her college paper and became a newspaper columnist and a noted author of a wide variety of books, including children's books and cookbooks. Her early books were historical adventure novels for young readers under the rubric, "He Went With..." Her column, Theresa’s Tea Table, was published in the Boston Traveler under the pen name Theresa Tempest. She published cookbooks as the character of Mrs. Appleyard, and also wrote a quarterly feature on food for Vermont Life magazine for many years. In 1912, she married Ira Rich Kent, with whom she had three children and split their time between homes in Brookline and Calais, Vermont. Her autobiography, Mrs. Appleyard and I, was published in 1968.
