Elizabeth Kling Trace (12 November 1914 - 2 October 2006). Known to friends and colleagues as Betsy.
A graduate of Hunter College who entered the antiquarian book trade after her marriage on 15 November 1939 to Timothy Trace. At her death, she was the owner of Timothy Trace, Booksellers.
The brief remembrance of Betsy Trace from colleague Judy Cohen in the A.B.A.A. Newsletter (Vol. 18, no. 1), Winter 2007 (page 1) notes the firm had been a member of the A.B.A.A. since 1950 and had exhibited at the Winter Antiques Show in New York since 1957, until shortly before Trace's death.
According to an obituary published by https://www.antiquesandthearts.com/Antiques and the Arts Weekly, in 1947 “the Traces moved to Red Mill Road in Cortlandt Manor (otherwise Peekskill) in northern Westchester County,” where the shop operated out of the home for 59 years.
