Among their successes in that country, they won the 1928 Grand Prix de Paris with the colt Cri de Guerre, bred by Evremond de Saint-Alary.[4] On his death in 1929, Ogden Mills left to his daughter Beatrice, a resident of London, England, married to Bernard Forbes, 8th Earl of Granard, his French racing stable and a home at 73 Rue de Varenne in Paris. That year, Beatrice led all French owners in purses earned.[5] In 1926, Mills' daughter Gladys and son Ogden established Wheatley Stable which would become one of the preeminent racing and breeding operations in American racing history. Personal lifeIn 1882,[6] Ogden Mills married Ruth T. Livingston (1855–1920), daughter of Maturin Livingston Jr. and Ruth Baylies a descendant of Thomas Baylies (1687–1756).[8] She was the twin sister of Elizabeth Livingston (1855–1943),[7] who was married to William George Cavendish-Bentinck (1854–1909).[8][9] She was also the granddaughter of Maturin Livingston (1769–1847) and Margaret Lewis (1780–1860), who was the only daughter and sole heiress of Gov. Morgan Lewis (1754–1844). Together, Ogden and Ruth had three children, twin daughters and a son:
Mills' wife inherited the Livingston Mansion in Staatsburg, New York which the couple used as a summer home and where they raised horses.[15] Ruth Livingston Mills died at their residence in Paris, France on October 13, 1920.[16] Ogden Mills died of pneumonia on January 29, 1929 at the family home in New York City.[17] Ogden Mills was buried with his wife at the mausoleum in St. James's Cemetery in Hyde Park, New York. PhilanthropyLike his father, Ogden Mills was involved in a number of chartitable causes and the Ogden Mills & Ruth Livingston Mills State Park encompasses their mansion at Staatsburg, New York that is now Staatsburgh State Historic Site.[18][19] Mills was instrumental in assisting the State of New York to erect a statue of Robert Livingston, his wife's great-great-great grandfather, into the National Statuary Hall Collection in Washington, D.C., highlighting him as one of the state's two most illustrious citizens.[20][21] DescendantsThrough his eldest daughter, he was the grandfather of Barbara Phipps Janney and Ogden Phipps (1908–2002), and the great-grandfather Ogden Mills Phipps (1940–2016) and Cynthia Phipps, also major figures in horse racing.
