Annie McCarer Darlington (née, Biles; after marriage, Mrs. F. J. Darlington;[1] pen name, Gertrude St. Orme; July 20, 1836 – January 24, 1907) was an American poet from Maryland. She began writing poetry in her youth and contributed frequently to local periodicals, including The Cecil Democrat and the Cecil Whig, under her pen name. After her marriage, she lived in both Pennsylvania and Florida, dividing her time seasonally between the two regions. Her poetry was well known in Cecil County, Maryland, where she spent her early life and maintained literary ties throughout her career. Darlington died in 1907 and was buried in West Chester, Pennsylvania.
