Callie Hamilton Guerard was the daughter of Robert Franklin Hamilton and Amanda McCrarey, the second of their six children. Her father was a farmer. She worked in a knitting mill in or near Hendersonville, NC as a young woman. She married Arthur Gordon Rose Guerard on July 18, 1902 in Henderson Co., NC and the couple had six children, 3 boys and 3 girls. Callie's husband was a mechanical engineer and they lived in several phosphate mining towns in Florida before settling in Boca Grande, FL about 1916, where Arthur ran the power plant at the south end of Gasparilla Island, where the town of Boca Grande is located. Callie was widowed in 1926 and the family left the island for a time, moving to Tampa where they are documented on the 1930 Federal Census. At some point, the family moved back to Boca Grande, where Callie was living when she became ill in 1946 and was taken to a hospital in Tampa, where she passed away. She was lovingly remembered by her children and granddaughters, whom she helped raise, as a kind and wonderful grandmother who was an excellent cook and made everything from scratch, including her special huckleberry pie and sour cream pie.
