Amy was the 2nd of 8 children born to Arthur Rose Guerard and Eugenie Engels. She arrived in the U.S. with her parents in 1881 to return and live at her fathers birthplace and family home, Charleston SC. In 1885 she settled with her family in the home her father built and named Heidelberg in Flat Rock, NC. The 63 acre estate was sold to the Associate Reformed Presbyterians in 1921 and renamed Bonclarken. She was confirmed at St. John's in the Wilderness Episcopal Church in Flat Rock. When her mother died in 1900, her father had taken some of his family back to New York, but Miss Amy and her oldest brother who was married with a family of his own, chose to stay among the friends they had made in Charleston and Flat Rock. In 1920, she was a student at Converse College, Spartanburg, SC, an all women's college. Amy lived with Frederich J Howden & wife, Elizabeth Middleton(a distant cousin) as governess/teacher for their disabled daughter for a least 3 decades. Louise Howe Bailey, who grew up knowing Miss Amy, remembered her "as a quiet little lady spending her winters in Charleston, her summers in Flat Rock." She continued her annual visits to Flat Rock until she had a heart attack in 1950. Amy died in Johnson Convalescent Home in Savannah. She never married and died without issue.
