Amélia "Amy" Elizabeth du Pont (August 7, 1875 – February 16, 1962) was a philanthropist and prominent member of the Du Pont family of American industrialists.〔 ==Family== She was born on August 7, 1880, the fifth of six children born to Eugène du Pont, grandson of DuPont founder Éleuthère Irénée du Pont (1771–1834). Eugène was the first head of the modern DuPont corporation, seeing the corporation into the 20th century.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Heritage: Eugene du Pont )〕 Amy's mother and namesake, Amélia Elizabeth du Pont, was also born a du Pont, granddaughter of Charles I. du Pont (1797–1869), brother of Éleuthère Irénée. In his will, Eugène provided equally for his children, but the portions for Amy and her sisters were held in trust for them, while their brothers received their inheritance outright. Known as "Miss Amy", she never married. An ardent horsewoman, she was injured in a fall from a horse in 1954 that restricted her activities. She died on February 16, 1962 at age 86, following a stroke at her home in Montecito, near Santa Barbara.〔(''Spokesman-Review'' (Spokane, Washington) - February 17, 1962 )〕 She was buried at Santa Barbara Cemetery.〔(【引用サイトリンク】publisher=Santa Barbara County Genealogical Society )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Amy Elizabeth du Pont」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
